The voltage driver has a dynamic voltage output that is compatible with industry-standard continuous vibration monitoring systems and is the format specified in API Standard 670. The dynamic voltage output is proportional to the DC gap between the target material and probe tip.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR PROXIMITY PROBE DRIVER:
Refer to the Diagrams Below to Select the appropriate proximity probe driver for your applications
Voltage Driver
4-20mA Drivers:
4-20mA Drivers Proportional to DC Gap:
Probe showing proportional output for the 4-20mA signals. With shaft surface at 50 mils, 4 – 20 output is 12mA.If the gap increases to 70 mils, 4 – 20 output will be 16mA.
Radial Application Drivers:
In radial applications, the probe drivers select the average shaft surface distance and the 4-20 is proportional to the overall peak to peak vibration in mils around the average surface of the shaft.
Axial Application Drivers:
In the thrust position the probes auto range to the face of the shaft or thrust collar and the 4-20 is proportional to the positive or negative vibration away or toward the probe as shown.
