6 Installation
To simplify installation, the two switching signal channels are set to [Window Mode] when delivered:
The larger window area of SSC1.1 indicates the entire switching range with LED1, the smaller window
area of SSC1.2. indicates the middle of the switching range with LED2.

u
Insert the device into the groove in the middle of the cylinder.
u
Push the device in the groove in the direction of the end position
that is to be detected.
w
LED1 goes on when the switch point SSC1.1 SP1 is reached (1).
u
Push the device further towards the end position.
w
LED2 goes on when the switch point SSC1.2 SP1 is reached.
When both LEDs are on, this indicates the middle of the
switching area (2).
u
Fix the device in this position using the fastening clamp if the end
position is to be roughly detected.
If the end position is to be detected as precisely as possible:
u
Push the device further towards the end position until LED2 goes
out (3).
u
Fix the device in this position using the fastening clamp.
6.1 Geometric alignment
The magnetic axis of the encoder magnet should be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the device and
correspond to the direction of movement.

Magnetic axis
In the event of magnetisation errors (magnetic axis not parallel to the device) or an offset
between the magnetic axis and the sensor plane, the linearity of the output signal [PDV1] will be
impaired.
