Magnet Safety
The HXT sensors, particularly the vane version, contain small, but powerful neodymium iron boron
magnets. These magnets are strong enough to magnetize tools, erase magnetic media (floppy disks and
credit cards), damage CRT’s (computer monitors and TV’s), pinch fingers, etc. They can also shatter if
allowed to snap together, causing eye damage. If they are ingested, they can cause serious injury, or
even death.
Do not allow unskilled persons to disassemble these sensors. Do not remove the
magnets from their respective assemblies (Head Assembly and Shaft Assembly).
Keep small magnets and small pieces containing magnets away from young
children who might mistakenly or intentionally swallow them. Seek immediate medical attention if you
suspect a child may have swallowed a magnet.
Transport and Handling
This sensor is a precision instrument. Please use care in its handling to protect the bearings and shaft. It
is recommended that the sensor be carefully placed on its side instead of standing up.
If the sensor tips over onto a hard surface, bearing or shaft damage may occur. Physical damage to the
sensor is not covered by warranty.
