5�2 Fixation of the wire at the piston
Use a suitable fixation for the wire inside the cylinder. WayCon recommends to install a “clipfixation” unit, that is screwed into
the piston. It is available as accessory.
Note: Because the rope must be extracted vertically from the sensor (maximum
variation from the vertical is 3°), it is very important to chose the wire fixation
point at the piston in its center� If the wire gets extracted at an inclination the
durability of the wire is reduced considerably and a wire breakage will be
unavoidable in the end�

5 INSTALLATION
5�3 Mounting procedure instruction
Please make sure that the SX300 has the correct
measurement range, before starting the installation.
In order to calculate the correct measurement range
the pre-extraction (distance between the piston and
the sensor, while the piston is in its end position = the
closest to the SX300; picture 1) has to be deducted from
the nominal measurement
range. The result is the actual usable measurement
range.
As a result the nominal measurement range of the SX300
has to be greater than the cylinder the pre-
extr reserve (picture 2).
If the calculation of the measurement range was done
incorrectly, a tearing of the wire rope may happen!
