Why Choose the Original Model
- Factory Calibration: Each PR6423/00E-030 CON021 set is factory-matched and calibrated as a system — sensor, extension cable, and Proximitor — ensuring measurement accuracy within ±0.5%.
- OEM Warranty Compliance: Using original parts preserves OEM machinery warranties and meets API 670 standard requirements for machinery protection systems.
- Long-term Availability: EMERSON maintains long product lifecycle support for the PR6423 series, reducing obsolescence risk.
- Proven Reliability: Deployed globally in power generation, oil & gas, and petrochemical plants with millions of operating hours.
Typical Applications
- Shaft radial vibration monitoring on steam turbines, gas turbines, and compressors
- Axial position (thrust) measurement on rotating shafts
- Differential expansion monitoring in turbine systems
- Speed and phase reference measurement (keyphasor)
- Integration with Bently Nevada 3500 / 3300 Series machinery protection racks
- DCS and SCADA integration via 4–20 mA or direct voltage output
System Compatibility
- Bently Nevada 3500 Series — 3500/42M, 3500/44M, 3500/46M proximity monitor modules
- Bently Nevada 3300 Series — 3300 XL proximity transducer systems
- EMERSON Ovation DCS — via standard analog I/O modules
- Third-party DCS / PLC — compatible with any system accepting -24 VDC bias, 0–10 V analog output
- CON021 Proximitor — the matched signal conditioner for this sensor; do not substitute with CON011 or CON031 without recalibration
Selection Guide
Use the table below to select the correct PR6423 variant for your application:
- Cable Length Suffix: -010 = 1 m | -030 = 3 m | -050 = 5 m | -090 = 9 m
- Tip Diameter: PR6423 = 5 mm | PR6424 = 8 mm (for larger air-gap requirements)
- Proximitor: CON021 (standard) | CON011 (legacy, limited availability)
- Target Material: Optimized for AISI 4140 steel; consult scale factor correction for other alloys
- Hazardous Area: Confirm ATEX / IECEx zone rating matches your installation zone

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use a PR6423/00E-030 sensor with a CON011 Proximitor?
A: Not recommended without recalibration. The CON021 and CON011 have different scale factors. Mixing them will result in measurement errors.
Q: Is the EPRO PR6423/00E-030 CON021 the same as the EMERSON version?
A: Yes. EPRO is an EMERSON subsidiary; the hardware is functionally identical and interchangeable.
Q: What is the difference between PR6423 and PR6424?
A: The PR6424 has an 8 mm tip diameter versus 5 mm for the PR6423, providing a larger linear range suitable for applications with greater shaft runout or larger air gaps.
Q: Can this sensor work with a Siemens or ABB DCS directly?
A: Yes, via the CON021 Proximitor analog output (voltage or 4–20 mA with appropriate converter). Signal conditioning must be verified against your DCS input card specifications.
Q: Do you provide calibration certificates?
A: Factory calibration documentation is included where available. Third-party calibration can be arranged upon request.
