The ±5° range and approximately 2.39 kg weight are reported for the PE-WD-01/GS120 configuration; individual PE-WD-01-X/WD-01-Y assemblies can differ, so the identification plate and actual configuration should be checked before replacement.
🔧 Functional Applications
The sensor can provide angular-position feedback to a control or monitoring system. Typical applications include:
- Marine propulsion control
- Bow and stern thruster systems
- Rudder and steering position monitoring
- Machinery tilt and position measurement
- Industrial positioning systems
- Mechanical motion feedback
- Marine automation and alarm systems
- Equipment alignment and monitoring
For marine equipment, the sensor output should be matched with the receiving controller, indicator, or monitoring unit according to the vessel-specific wiring and calibration arrangement.
🔌 Installation & Integration
Before installation, compare the replacement unit with the existing sensor using the complete model designation, connector arrangement, mechanical mounting, and electrical interface.
- Disconnect system power before removing the existing sensor.
- Confirm the pendulum sensor is mounted in the correct mechanical orientation.
- Check the 7-pole connector and wiring against the vessel or machine drawing.
- Verify that the X/Y sensing orientation corresponds to the original installation.
- Secure the sensor housing firmly to prevent mechanical movement unrelated to the measured position.
- Reconnect the signal interface and restore system power.
- Check the zero position and verify the indicated angle or position through the connected control system.
- Perform a functional test across the required operating range.
Because PE-WD-01 variants can be configured for different applications, do not assume that two visually similar units are electrically interchangeable without checking their part numbers and system documentation.
🛠️ Maintenance Recommendations
- Inspect the housing for cracks, corrosion, impact marks, or oil leakage.
- Keep the connector clean, dry, and properly secured.
- Check connector pins for oxidation or mechanical damage.
- Verify mounting screws and brackets periodically.
- Check the sensor zero position during scheduled machinery inspections.
- Compare actual sensor feedback with the system indication.
- Investigate unstable readings before adjusting the control system.
- Avoid excessive vibration or mechanical shock during handling.
- Store the sensor in a clean, dry environment when used as a spare.
- Record the complete model and serial information before replacement.
