Check that the sensor cable is routed conveniently before mounting the sensor. You can install the sensor and
magnets semi-permanently by using the 3M VHB (Very High Bond) tape supplied. Should you wish to make a
temporary installation, use electrical tape to affix the sensor. Use the alcohol prep pad provided to clean the
area of the deck to where you will attach the sensor. Peel away the protective layers of the VHB double-sided
tapes, and firmly press the sensor onto the cleaned area of the deck. Wait 24 hours before rowing to allow the
VHB tape to fully cure.
Using the provided cable tie mounts, secure the sensor wire. If in the future you need to remove the wire, simply
cut the cable tie and later use a new one to secure the wire.
Install the Magnet:
1) Remove and inspect the seat plate to find an appropriate place to mount the magnet.
2) Clean the mounting location thoroughly with an alcohol prep pad.
3) Peel the liner from the VHB tape on the magnet.
4) Align the magnet on the mounting location and press firmly.
5) Return the stroke seat to its slide and check that the clearance between the magnet and sensor is no more
than 3/8" (refer to Fig 2). Check also that the magnets pass directly over the sensor (refer to Figures 1a, 1b).
NOTE: On seats without a sliding carriage (such as shown in the photo), there may be no seat plate for attaching
the magnet. One option in this instance is to place the flange of the magnet assembly on top of the axle tube
and secure the magnet with a few wraps of electrical tape.
