Many options are available to customize a standard system to meet the exact needs of the
application. The most popular are:
Most sensors can handle longer cable lengths, although increasing the cable length can and will affect some
performance specifications. Shorter than standard cable lengths are also available. Call an apps engineer
to discuss your particular requirements.
Many sensors come with integral sensor cables. Routing this cable in some applications
is difficult and something you only want to do once. Including an in-line connector
splice in the cable, near the sensor itself, allows for easy sensor replacement should the
need arise.
Some applications pass the sensor through a pressure boundary, most commonly a
vacuum chamber wall. We offer an in-line hermetic bulkhead splice for these
applications.
Standard published ranges are based on meeting a set of performance specs. Custom
calibrations are possible to meet specific application needs. Contact a Kaman
applications engineer if a custom calibration is desired.
Unless otherwise specified, nonferrous systems will be calibrated with an aluminum
target. If your target material
is significantly different in conductivity and/or permeability it may be best to calibrate
using the same material as your target.
