for screw M3

Mounting of the magnetic sensor

The sensor senses the incremental travel information of the MB500/1 magnetic 
tape.

The magnetic sensor, L versions, is mounted by means of the two attached 
screws via the ø3.5 mm through holes. Fastening torque = 0.25 Nm.

Mounting the magnetic tape

Stick the magnetic tape level to the mounting surface or the distance to be 
measured. Unevenness impairs measuring accuracy.

Mounting steps:

Electrical Installation

The location should be selected to ensure that no capacitive or inductive inter-
ferences can affect the electronic display or the connection lines!

• 

When mounting the system keep a maximum possible distance from lines 
loaded with interference. Use screening shields or metallized housings.

Connection of power supply

By an internal Battery powered.

 Caution

As soon as the battery voltage falls below a defined value, this will be signalled 
by a symbol on the display. On this stage, the functioning of the electronic dis-
play is ensured for a limited time. However, the battery should be replaced by 
SIKO as soon as possible.
