Setup Option 1 – Transducer System
Verification
Set up the shaft micrometer using a power
supply, multimeter, and transducer system with
the probe viewing a Bently Nevada™ 4140
target button. Note: Be sure the target is visible
through the hole in the collet before you insert
the probe.
Setup Option 2 – Shaft Verification in
Hazardous Areas
To verify the transducer system curve in an
intrinsically safe application when viewing a
shaft or piston rod, set up the transducer
system, micrometer, and multimeter as shown
below.

 Step 2 – Take Readings
Take readings until end of linear range in 250µm
(10 mil) increments, assuming X1 is approximately
equal to 250µm (10 mil). All voltages should be
negative voltages.
Step 3 – Calculate ISF
Calculate Incremental Scale Factors (ISFn),
Average Scale Factor (ASF), and difference
voltages (Vdiffn).
