Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our products and services
It is a flat, one-sided head with nominal 2, 4 or 6 mm spans. Measuring span differs from the physical clearance needed to insert it.
The manufacturer recommends it only for portable measurements. Continuous installation uses bonding of the sensor underside according to the instructions.
No. Standard variants have a type E triaxial socket; CRg4.0 variants include a 4 m cable with a type B connector. These are distinct connection configurations.
The table lists at least 0.75 mm required gap width. Also account for mounting method and the sensor drawing.
It specifies a recommended rectangular target that varies with model span. Active-strip width must not be treated as the complete target-size requirement.
