6.5 Setting the switching distance
The limit switches are inductive units and need a defined switching distance of 0.8 mm (±0.2 mm) to the damping element.
Move the carriage until the damping element is above a limit switch. Using a feeler gauge, align the damping element
for a switching distance of 0.8 mm (±0.2 mm). Make sure in doing so that the damping element remains parallel to the
carriage’s lower edge.
Tighten the bolts for the damping element. The tightening torque is 1 Nm.
If a second limit switch has been installed: Move the carriage until the damping element is above the second limit
switch, and check with a feeler gauge that the switching distance is 0.8 mm (±0.2 mm). Correct where necessary until
the switching distance is reached for both limit switches.
Route the limit switch cable into the lower groove. There the cable is protected under the groove cover. The groove cover
is available separately, see Section 12.4.
The switching distance has now been set.
