Sensor Mounting:
When installing the DS1500 sensor to the mounting bracket,
use hand tools only. Do not use pneumatic or electric power
tools. Be sure to install the reinforcement strap. Seat nylock
nuts until contact is made with reinforcement strap. Alternately
tighten each nut 1/2 turn at a time until sensor body is securely
fastened to bracket.
Do not over tighten bolts. Do not
mount near exhaust system.
NOTE:
The design of the DS1500 has changed. If replacing or
installing this sensor/magnet for the first time, please be
sure to follow the gap adjustment instructions in 4.
1. Replace OEM bolt on carrier bearing with the supplied longer
grade 5 bolt.
2. Mount brackets and sensor assembly as shown in figure 2, using
the washers to position the height of the sensor.
3. The sensor must be mounted such that the magnet proceeds
from the black wire to the red wire when the driveline rotates in
reverse.
4. Adjust the air gap between the sensor face and the magnets to
be around Ø 0.323”. A 5/16” or 8mm drill bit may be used as a
gap adjustment tool. A “P” sized drill from a lettered drill bit set is
preferred.
