From a top-down view of the sensor plate assembly, verify the detection shaft does not touch
the Lock and Unlock sensors. If the sensors touch the shaft, adjust the sensor position.

CAUTION:
Do not operate locking mechanism with sensor touching the
detection shaft. Operating the locking mechanism with the sensor touching the
detection shaft will damage the sensor. Back off the sensor one-half turn and
secure with the set screw before operating the locking mechanism.

Holding the sensor in position, apply Loctite 222 to the proximity sensor threads between the
hex nut and the Master plate assembly. Tighten the hex nut using a 6 mm wrench and torque to
8 in-lbs (0.90 Nm).
12.
Connect the sensor cable. When power is turned on to the sensor, the LED should illuminate,
and sensor signal should be ON.
13.
Attach the Master plate to the adapter plate using the (6) M4 socket head cap screws using a 2.5
mm hex key. Tighten to 10 in-lbs (1.13 Nm).
14.
Connect other utilities to the optional modules on the Master plate.
15. Confirm operation of the replaced sensor.
a.
If you are testing the Lock sensor, make sure the Tool Changer is in the
Locked
position.
If you are testing the Unlock sensor, make sure the Tool Changer is in the
Unlocked
position.
b.
Check to see the signal is ON and the sensor LED is illuminated, for the sensor being
tested. Replace the sensors if they are not functioning.
16. Safely resume normal operation.
