Installation distances in millimeters
1-point calibration
- Step 1: Place the flat surface of the target directly to the sensing face
- Step 2: Look for “Application” section on moneo configure
- Step 3: Select “1 point calibration” click on “Execute command”
After approx. 5 seconds, a window should pop up reading, "Done - Paramaters succesfully written to device."
At that point, the 1-point calibration is successful.
3-point calibration
3-point calibration for the Pprox displacement sensor is teh most precise and accurate calibration method. It is suitable for small, non-uniform targets such as screw heads.
displacement sensor 3-point calibration
- Step1: Click on “3 point calibration”. Items [SMR]; [CMR]; [EMR] will show up.
- Step2: [SMR], click on “Execute command.” A window will be popped out, scroll down to check the correct distance and place the metal target to the distance and click “OK”.
- Step3: Repeat the steps for [CMR] and [EMR].
- Step4: Click on “Execute 3 Point calibration”. The calibration process will take approximately 2 seconds.
Once completed, the pop up will confirm that the parameters are successfully written to the device.
