Function: Protection + Monitoring, to prevent rotor axial friction, thrust bearing burnout

IV. Installation and Wiring

Installation: Standard guide rail / rack slot installation, no special tools required

Probe: Electromagnetic induction probe installed on the thrust disc surface, gap set according to probe specifications

Wiring: Probe → Extension cable → Preamplifier → 72308-01 module input; Output connected to DCS/PLC/alarm interlock

V. Maintenance and Fault Diagnosis

Daily: Observe indicator lights, confirm stable values, no alarms

Regular: Calibrate probe gap and module range, check cable aging / grounding

No data: Check power supply, probe / cable connection, preamplifier status

Data drift: Re-calibrate probe gap, check shielding grounding, troubleshoot interference
