LIMAX02 can be installed at any position in the shaft, depending on spatial conditions and layout of the particu-
lar elevator installation.
The magnetic tape is installed freely suspended in the shaft. It can be fixed with the RMS mounting kit (available
as option) on the guide rail. Alternatively fixation in the shaft head is either on beams or directly bolted into the
ceiling. The necessary tension in the tape is provided by a tension weight of about 5 kg. A sway guard at the
bottom will keep the tape from swaying in an uncontrolled position. Alternatively the magnetic tape can be ten-
sioned by a spring.
The sensor head can be mounted onto the cabin or cabin frame, depending on the spatial conditions of the
elevator.
