Actuating direction
• The actuator must not touch the sensor during operation�
• Do not adjust the device using mechanical force�
• Only mount on a flat surface to avoid damage or changes of the sensing range�
When using several sensors, a minimum distance of 50 mm in each direc-
tion must be maintained�
► Fasten the sensor and the actuator with two screws each (M4, > 18 mm) (tight-
ening torque 0�8���2 Nm)�
Using less than two screws for each component is not permissible�
According to EN ISO 14119, the actuator must be fixed immovably�
Safety screws with one-way heads, rivets or the like are to be used�
After mounting, insert the supplied cover caps to make it more difficult to access
screws or rivets�
