John, I went and bought an Eagle and RR as soon as I came to the very belated realization that they would work on my Lenco motor. The new stuff is still in its shipping containers, but I did read the instructions on installing the sensor, where Phoenix recommends not more than a 1/8" clearance between the magnet and the sensor itself. Did you find that to be a very critical parameter when you installed yours on the SOTA? Thanks.

I don't know how critical the gap is because I followed instructions and mine works just fine. Therefore, I would recommend simply following the instructions and mount it so the gap is very small.
Is there a problem. I had to use a wooden block to mount the sensor because the bottom of my platter is about 1-1/8" above the top surface of my plinth.
I hope you like your new Eagle and RoadRunner. There really hasn't been anything quite like these components. They are truly unique.
Best regards,
John Elison
When it is close enough to the magnet, it lights an LED in front of the numbers as the magnet passes near. You will easily see that. If the LED doesn't light, it is too far.
I haven't got the instruction sheet in front of me, but in addition to the bit about the LED that you relate, there is also the admonition, "The closer, the better", or words to that effect. The implication is that the device will work better and better, the closer the magnet comes to the sensor, without, of course, hitting it. That's never comforting to anyone stricken with audiophilia nervosa.
The "nervosa" folks may want to obsess over this, but it's not necessary. Truth is, it's a binary choice. It either trips the circuit as shown by lighting up the LED, or it does not. If it lights up consistently with each turn, it's easy to see and close enough. End of story.
With Phoenix going out of business we're fortunate to have our units. IMO they were a bargain at their price, appear well built and hopefully are bullet proof. Enjoy your combo; I enjoy mine.
That's what I would have thought, too. I don't quite understand why the instruction manual adds that bit about the closer, the better. Perhaps the triggering gets a tiny bit more precise as the two objects approach contact. Anyway, I've already decided not to get crazy about it.
