Installation Procedure
1.
Attach the top end of the magnetic tape in the shaft head. Ideally use an ELGO Magnetic Tape Mount-
ing Kit (see
14.1 Accessories). Check for correct orientation of the tape. The arrows on the magnetic
side must point in upward direction:

2.
The printed side (magnetic side) of the tape must point inwards towards the sensor. The steel side thus
points outwards towards the shaft wall.
3.
Move down with the inspection drive. Unroll the belt. The cardboard packaging of the tape is designed
in such a way that the tape can be unwound directly from the packaging. Thus the tape always optimal-
ly protected.
4.
Attach the tension weight (about 7.5 kg) at the bottom end of the tape in the shaft. Secure the tape with
a sway guard. Pay attention to a proper vertical mounting of the tape.
If you use dowels to fix the tape in the shaft, tighten the spring such, that the according tractions results
to minimum 7.5 kg. When using the ELGO Mounting Kit RMS/RMS90 this is equivalent to a spring
elongation of about 90 mm. Note that slightly higher tensile forces are never a problem, but avoid un-
der-tensioning. In higher buildings it may even be preferable to slightly increase the tension in order to
prevent flapping of the tape during operation. However, if correctly installed tensile forces of more than
10 kg should never be necessary.
5.
Move the cabin to the middle of the shaft.
6.
Mount the sensor on the cabin. The orange guide lock must point upwards (see Figure 8). This corre-
sponds to the upwards counting direction (see step 1. above).
7.
Align the sensor. Use the tape as a reference. First align the sensor in the middle of the tape.

8.
Then adjust an offset for pre-tension between sensor and tape. For hoisting heights up to 90 meters, we
recommend a distance of at least 15 mm. This offset ensures that the tape is correctly guided on the
steel side during operation. This dimension can be increased later if the tape still rubs against the sen-
sor with the magnetic side.
9.
Insert the tape through the sensor (procedure see section
10.
Then check the proper alignment of sensor and tape (see section
Deviations and angular misalignments must be corrected.
