3. Mounting and mechanical dimensions
The MC36CH/MC36CM pairs can be mounted using the holes on both sides of the enclosure, suitable for M4 screws. It
is recommended to use brass or non-magnetic steel screws to avoid reducing the operating distance of the sensor.
4. Operating mode
MC36CH sensor is “operated” when all its safety contacts have changed their open/close condition when the MC36CM
actuator is close to the sensor (see section Technical Data for operating distances).
The magnetic coding of the MC36CH sensor requires magnet MC36CM to be correctly aligned with sensor to ensure
correct functionality.
The alignment is achieved moving the MC36CM actuator towards the MC36CH sensor along the X axis (side alignment,
e.g. sliding door) or Y axis (frontal alignment e.g. hinged gate/door or slide) or perpendicularly to the XY plane (Z axis,
e.g. hinged gate/door).
A correct alignment is achieved when the MC36CH sensor and the MC36CM actuator lay on the same XY plane, aligned
to the same position X0 (see fig. 2).
In that position, if the Y distance between the sensor and the magnetic unit is less than the Operating Distance (Sao, see
Technical Data), the sensor is correctly operated.
Different alignments can lead to wrong operating conditions (e.g. none or only one internal contact changes its status).
It should always be the goal to achieve optimal alignment between sensor and magnet during installation. However the
MC36CH does allow some misalignment while still keeping correct operation. The typical maximum allowed displacement
between sensor and magnet in the XZ-plane can be seen in figure 3. Notice that any misalignment in this plane will reduce
the switching distance in the Y-axis.
