Brüel & Kjær Vibro │Instructions Sensor ds821 4 mm Safety Safety NOTE! This manual is a part of the product. Read the manual carefully before using the product and keep it accessible for future use. CAUTION! This symbol warns of dangerous situations which can result from misuse of the product. NOTE! This symbol provides general and useful information for using the product.
Hot surfaces • In line with the user manuals, sensors and cables can be operated in extensive ambient temperature ranges, whereby they can become hot through self-heating on housing walls and can produce burning. • When mounted at external heat or cold sources (e.g. machine parts), systems, sensors and cables can adopt dangerous temperatures, whereby burning, among other things, can occur in the event of contact.
Brüel & Kjær Vibro │Instructions Sensor ds821 4 mm Safety 1.5.2 Prohibition of Unauthorized Modifications System and accessories must not be changed neither in construction nor safety technology without the express consent of Brüel & Kjær Vibro. Any unauthorized modification excludes Brüel & Kjær Vibro's liability for resulting damages.

Assembly of the sensor: CAUTION! The ceramic sensor tip is sensitive to shock. Transport and store the displacement sensor only with the included protective rubber cap. Always keep the protective rubber cap for later use. To avoid damage, make sure, especially during assembly and while operating the machine, that the sensor tip does not come into contact with other objects.
Brüel & Kjær Vibro │Instructions Sensor ds821 4 mm Product description Product description Observe the safety information in chapter "Safety"! Basic function The displacement sensor systems of the ds82x family are based on the non-contacting eddy current measurement process. The distance is measured between the tip of the displacement sensor and an electrically conductive surface and sent via a proportional voltage signal to a subsequent electronic monitor.
Nominal overall length of the displacement sensor system The nominal system length (N) refers to the length of the components displacement sensor (P) and extension cable (L). The optional extension cable is required whenever the length of the displacement sensor is 0.5 m or 1.0 m and with the help of the additional extension cable must be extended to the nominal system length of 5 m, 10 m or 25 m.
Brüel & Kjær Vibro │Instructions Sensor ds821 4 mm Delivery, storage, transport Delivery, storage, transport Observe the safety information in chapter "Safety"! Delivery Check the packaging for damage upon delivery and make sure that the contents are complete. Components included in scope of supply: Complete Supplied Displacement...
Installation Read the safety information in the chapter "Safety" before installation. To assemble the displacement sensor system, proceed in the following order: • 4.1 Assembling the displacement sensor • 4.2 Assembling the driver (oscillator/demodulator) • 4.3 Connect the components together •...
Brüel & Kjær Vibro │Instructions Sensor ds821 4 mm Installation Assembling the displacement sensor 4.1.1 Displacement sensor for front-side mounting The front side-mountable displacement sensors are supplied with two nuts. You can use these nuts to lock it in place after adjustment (4.4 Setting up the measuring chain and the displacement sensor). Depending on the application, the sensor can be mounted forward-facing either within a machine or outside of a machine or through the machine housing.
4.1.2 Displacement sensor for rear-side mounting The sensor for rear-side mounting is assembled with the help of a sensor holder which preferably includes an integrated bulkhead receptacle. • Fix the displacement sensor using a retainer that is appropriate for the type of installation. We recommend using the holder AC-101/AC-3101.
Brüel & Kjær Vibro │Instructions Sensor ds821 4 mm Installation 4.2.2 Screw mounting NOTE! The screws for the installation are not included in the delivery contents. A suitable surface of at least 7x10 cm is required for screw mounting: • Solid metal: ....
Connect the components together Connection options: • Connection via extension cable • Direct connection 4.3.1 Connecting and disconnecting plug connections The connector ends of the displacement sensor and the extension cable feature self-latching plug connections. They are plugged together, and not joined by a screw connection. To assemble, observe the following order: 1.
Brüel & Kjær Vibro │Instructions Sensor ds821 4 mm Installation Setting up the measuring chain and the displacement sensor The displacement sensor should be adjusted when the rotor is stationary. 4.4.1 Measurement set-up As a rule, a displacement measuring chain is adjusted with the help of a voltmeter and the "operating voltage".
Electrical connection Connect the driver with an electronic monitoring system (e.g. VC-6000) according to the drawing below.When setting up your measuring system you should observe the following behavior of the driver. The heating effect of the driver electronics During the warm-up phase the heating effect causes a drift in the static distance measurement. Displacement sensor Drift Operating time...
Brüel & Kjær Vibro │Instructions Sensor ds821 4 mm Functional check Functional check Observe the safety information in chapter Safety! Quick check After installing the displacement sensor system, you can check the measured values using a digital multimeter (Ri ≥ 100 kΩ). If the displacement sensor system is in correct operating condition, you will see the following values: Operating voltage Output signal U...

Check the displacement sensor and the extension cable: • Measure the supply voltage I (terminal 2) with extension cable and displacement sensor connected. Disconnect the cable connected to the driver (terminal 1) and measure supply voltage I again. If I changes by about 1.8 mA, the sensor cable and the displacement sensor are OK.

Brüel & Kjær Vibro │Instructions Sensor ds821 4 mm Technical data Environmental requirements 8.3.1 Reliability of the displacement sensor in different media CAUTION! Humidity or moisture inside the plug result in the displacement sensor system becoming defective. Seal the plug to prevent moisture from entering. If the displacement sensor system is used in other media such as water, it can have an impact on the measurement results.
8.3.3 Required clearances and minimum distances for displacement sensors Non-contacting eddy-current displacement sensors produce a high frequency electromagnetic field. If electrically conductive material other than the object to be measured is located inside this field, the measurement result will be distorted. When assembling your non-contacting displacement sensors, strictly observe the clearances and minimum distances illustrated in the following drawing.
Brüel & Kjær Vibro │Instructions Sensor ds821 4 mm Technical data Transfer characteristics The characteristic curves shown in the measurement report are created under the stated environmental conditions and with the stated target material. When you order a complete displacement sensor system, you will receive an individual measurement report which may deviate from the illustrated typical transfer function.
