6. Hints for installation and Operation
Hints for Operation in Electrical panels
This position indicator is designed and constructed for use in arduous industrial applications and as
immune to electrical interference as possible. Care should however be taken when fitting electronic
equipment into machinery.
1. Electronic units should be mounted away from inductive and capacitate interference.
2. Protect against overvoltage.
3. Protect against over temperature.
4. Run low voltage cables separate to high voltage/high power cables.
5. Screen encoder cables and input signal cables. Tie screen to zero (terminal 1) at controller;
leave insulated at other end.
6. Suppress all relays, contractors, solenoids, brakes and other coils in cabinet and on machine. Fit
diodes across dc coils. Fit 0,1 µF + 100
Ω
across ac coils. Failure to follow the above logical
simple instructions could lead to maloperation of the electronic unit.
Hints on mounting the Tape MB20.50
Use double-sided sticky tape (or other adhesive). It is important that the base tape
B
on the
bonded rubber tape
A
are firmly fixed to the machine bed. The separately delivered tape
C
is only
for mechanical protection. The Sensor operates with a gap of 0.1 to 2.0 mm from the Tape C. The
tape can be mounted at any angle.
