Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What is the minimum speed to get 9.4V output?
A: About 250 RPM with 60-tooth ferrous gear. Lower speed gives less voltage. - Q: Can I cut the 10m cable shorter?
A: Yes, but you must seal the cut end. Shorter cable may increase output slightly. - Experience-based Q: My sensor reads noisy signal. What can fix it?
A: Use shielded cable and connect shield to ground at one end. Keep away from VFD cables. - Selection Guide Q: This model or 70085-1010-018? Which to choose?
A: Pick 70085-3030-211 if you need long 10m cable and 1/2 NPT conduit. Pick the other for short thread and connector. - Q: Does warranty cover cable damage?
A: No, warranty covers sensor internal failure only. Cable cuts or crush are not covered. - Q: How to test this sensor before installation?
A: Connect an oscilloscope to the cable. Pass a steel screw across the tip. You will see AC pulses.
Selection Guidance
- Need 1/2 NPT conduit? This is the right 70085-3030-211 model.
- For temperatures above 95°C, pick high-temp sensor (not this one).
- If you need a quick-disconnect, choose the connector version (70085-1010-018).
- For very long cable runs >10m, use this sensor and add a signal conditioner.
- Order spare cable glands for 1/2 NPT separately.
Quick Diagnostics
- Check output with a multimeter in AC mode (should show millivolts at low speed).
- Inspect cable for cuts or pinch points.
- Measure resistance between cable leads: typically 130-200 ohms (open = bad).
