7.3.3 Installation of the Transducers in Variofix C
• 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 compound.
• Position the transducers on the rail in such way that the engravings on the transducers form an arrow. The transducer
cables show in opposite directions (see Fig. 7.17).
• Adjust the transducer distance displayed by the transmitter (see section 9.6 and Fig. 7.17).
• Slide the spring clips on the transducers (see Fig. 7.18).
• Fix the transducers by tightening the tensioning screws slightly. The end of the screw has to be placed above the hole in
the transducer (see Fig. 7.17).
• Correct the transducer distance, if necessary (see section 9.6.1 and section 9.6.2).
• Tighten the tensioning screw.
• Fix the spacing element on the rail to mark the transducer position (see Fig. 7.17).
• Use a cable tie to fix the transducer cables in order to protect them from mechanical strain (see Fig. 7.18).
• Put the cover on the rail (see Fig. 7.19).
• Tighten the screws on both sides of the cover.
Note! If coupling foil is used: If the signal is not sufficient for the measurement, use the coupling compound
instead of the coupling foil.
