Abstract
Sensing systems and methods of adjusting sensing systems are disclosed herein. A sensing system includes a sensor, an sensor mount, a retainer, and an orientation selection mechanism. The sensor is configured to provide a signal indicative of an operational characteristic of a sensed component. The sensor mount is sized to receive the sensor and configured for attachment to the sensed component to couple the sensor thereto. The retainer is sized for receipt by the sensor mount and configured to retain the sensor when the sensor is received by the sensor mount. The orientation selection mechanism is configured to permit selection of an orientation of the sensor relative to one or more sensing targets when the sensor is received by the sensor mount.
