9 Extended temperature range (option T)
When ordering option T (

12.1) the LMIX22 sensor is supplied with an extended temperature range which is
particularly suitable for use in rough environmental conditions (e.g. outdoor solar systems). The extended tem-
perature range with option T is -40 … + 80° C (instead of +10 … +70 °C with standard versions).
In the case of the extended version, it must be noted that the magnetic tape is subject to certain restrictions at
these temperatures:

At these temperatures, the adhesive tape cannot be used for fixing the magnetic tape, but only as a
mounting aid. With extremely high temperatures, the adhesive can soften or become brittle at extremely
low temperatures. Thus extremely temperatures will have a negative effect on the adhesion.

The measuring length with option T is limited to maximum 1000 mm.
9.1 Magnetic tape fixation with option T
Due to the above-mentioned restrictions, the magnetic tape must be mechanically fixed in a different manner in
addition to the adhesive tape (depending on the application and space, for example by clamping the two ends,
fixing with cable ties or the like).
NOTE!
Due to the hardened steel bands, any mounting holes at the beginning and end of the mag-
netic tape cannot be drilled, but must be punched.
9.2 Prefabricated magnetic tape for option T
In the case of larger numbers, the magnetic tape can be prefabricated on request by ELGO. For this purpose, a
mounting hole with a diameter of 5 mm is punched at the beginning and at the end of the magnetic tape. The
total length of the magnetic tape must be extended accordingly (see box below).
