4.2.2 Installation with magnetic holder
The sensor can also be temporarily attached to the surface
using a magnetic holder. This requires a magnetic holder
on which the sensor is installed (see Section Accessories
on page 45).
Fig. 4-7: Installation plan for the BCM on magnetic holder
Prerequisites for installation with magnetic holder:
– The installation surface must be ferromagnetic.
– The installation surface must not be curved or uneven.
CAUTION
Crushing and shattering hazard
When attaching the sensor to ferromagnetic surfaces
using the magnetic holder, fingers or hands can become
crushed due to the magnetic forces, and in the event of
an excessive impact, the magnets of the holder can
shatter.
►
Take the magnetic forces into consideration when
handling the magnetic holder.
►
Wear safety gloves and safety goggles!
1. Clean the installation surface of the magnetic holder for
the BCM as well as the BCM underside.
2. For improved heat conduction, apply a thin film of a
thermoconductive medium.
3. Align the BCM with the magnetic holder according to
the threaded holes and tighten using the fastening
screws at tightening torque of 1.2 Nm.
4.
Check that the BCM on the magnetic holder is secure
and readjust as necessary.
5. Set up an installation surface of at least 32 × 20 mm
and clean it.
6. Attach the BCM to the installation surface using the
magnetic holder.
7. Check that the magnetic holder on the installation
surface is secure and change the mounting location as
necessary.
When installing using a magnetic holder, bear in
mind that vibration may affect proper fit.
Regularly check for proper holding and correct
alignment when using this installation method.
