9. Disposal
The cable transducer contains electronic components.
At its disposal, local environmental guidelines must be
followed.
6. Assembly
Fit cable transducer on a plain base to avoid excessive
force on housing. Make sure that drainage holes are free.
It is recommended to use flat washers.

Screws DIN 125A
Max. 2.5 Nm
10. General informations
Cable transducer is equipped with rubber wiper at measu-
ring wire inlet. Nevertheless, protect cable transducer and
measuring wire from water.
Avoid mounting with measuring wire outlet pointing
upwards to reduce risk of water entry. Freezing water can
lead to damage. Drainage holes can be opened to allow
water to drain. Prefer mounting cable transducer with
drainage holes in low position.

Ensure pulling out of measuring wire in straight direction.
Maximum misalignment ≤3°. Use pulley to limit misalign-
ment.
Do not loop measuring wire around objects or allow them
to touch measuring wire. Protect measuring wire from dirt
and damage.
Ensure free rotation of measuring wire fixation to assure
optimum wire guiding.
Letting snap back of pulled out measuring wire can cause
injuries and damage of cable transducer.
3. Intended use
The cable transducer is a precision measuring
device that is used to record linear positions and
speeds. It provides measuring values as electronic
output signals for the subsequently connected
device. It must not be used for any other purpose.
Unless this product is specially labeled, it may
not be used for operation in potentially explosive
environments. Make sure by appropriate safety
measures, that in case of error or failure of the
cable transducer, no danger to persons or damage
to the system or operating facilities occurs. Do
not directly connect with on board supply system
but with a DC/DC converter which is released by
automotive standardization group.
4. Personnel qualification
Installation and assembly of this product may be performed
only by a person qualified in electronics and precision
mechanics.
5. Maintenance
The cable transducer is maintenance-free and must not
be opened up nor mechanically or electronically modified.
Opening up the cable transducer can lead to injury caused
by the spring.
