Installation of the transducers in Variofix L
• Press the transducers firmly on the transducer clamping fixture in the covers until the transducers are firmly fixed (one
transducer in each cover). The transducer cables show in opposite directions (see Fig. 8.26).
• Adjust the transducer distance displayed by the transmitter (see section 11.6 and Fig. 8.27).
• Fix the cables of the transducers with the strain relief clamp to protect them from mechanical strain (see Fig. 8.27).
• Put coupling foil (or some coupling compound for a short-term installation) on the contact surface of the transducers. The
coupling foil can be fixed to the contact surface with a small amount of the coupling com-pound.
• Put the covers with the transducers on the rail.
• Correct the transducer distance, if necessary (see section 11.6.1 and 11.6.2).
• Tighten the screws of the cover (see Fig. 8.28).

Note!
Make sure that the coupling foil remains on the contact surface of the transducers.
