Application notes on measurement deviations
Shifting of the zero point and gain of the measuring probe
- The zero point and the gain of the measuring probe can shift with longer cable lengths between the probe and the EL5072. It is therefore recommended to install the measuring probe with the minimum necessary cable length between the probe and the EL5072.
- Due to slightly different coil characteristics and influences from other components used, the lower range value may vary slightly. Please follow the manufacturer's instructions to find the zero position of the measuring probe.
- In order to achieve an optimum measuring result, it is recommended to carry out a user calibration via gain and offset over the entire measuring distance.
Possible causes of measurement deviations
- Mechanical components of the measuring probe (larger clearance of the mechanical components, e. g. ball head, bent plunger, …)
- Unsuitable or unshielded long cables
- Resistance changes of the supply lines due to temperature changes
