4.2 Installation
For secure and lasting installation of the BCM the sensor
must be attached directly on the machine or relevant
component to be monitored. To ensure the best possible
signal quality, we recommend tightening the sensor using
screws (see Section Direct installation on page 15).
Alternatively, the sensor can be temporarily attached to the
surface using a magnetic holder (see Section Installation
with magnetic holder on page 16).

Installation and connection (continued)
4.2.1 Direct installation
For mounting in a threaded or a through hole, two M3
screws are required.
Prerequisites for direct installation:
– Sufficient wall thickness of the component.
– The installation surface must not be curved or uneven.
Fig. 4-6: Screw connection installation plan
1. Set up an installation surface of at least 32 × 20 mm.
2. Create two vertical drilled holes with an M3 internal
thread or a corresponding through hole that fits to the
mounting holes of the BCM in the installation surface
(for dimensions, see Fig. 4-5).
3. Clean the installation surface.
4. For improved heat conduction, apply a thin film of a
thermoconductive medium.
5. Align the BCM with the installation surface according to
the threaded holes and tighten them until they are
hand-tight using the fastening screws.
6. Check whether the BCM is flush with the surface in
order to ensure an excellent vibration and temperature
transfer. Readjust as necessary.
7.
Tighten the fastening screws.
8. Check that the BCM is fastened securely.
