Installation and First Start-Up
NOTE!
Ensure a proper vertical tape mounting.
If the order of the tape segments is wrong, a wrong position will be
read during the transition from one segment to the next and the sensor
will go into the error state.
2.
Mount the sensor with the plug connection pointing upwards on the cabin.
3.
Align the sensor. Use the tape as a reference. First align the sensor in the middle with a lateral offset of
4
mm to the side edge of the magnetic tape (point C in Fig 17).
4.
Now set the distance between the tape and the sensor. The maximum reading distance between the
sensor housing and the surface of the magnetic tape must not exceed 8
mm. Make sure that the sensor
head is mounted vertically.
5.
Check the correct mounting. Deviations and angular misalignments must be corrected!

General remarks:
Figure A/B:
The sensor surface must be installed parallel to the magnetic tape without twisting
Figure C:
The sensor must maintain a lateral offset of 4 mm over the entire measuring distance
Figure D/E:
A lateral offset outside this dimension is not permitted and leads to measurement errors,
which in turn entails the request for the safe state.
