Note
Interferences along the track have to be avoided e.g. by moving the magnetic track or by
shielding the source.
3.2.2 Mounting on the Vehicle
Figure 6
Casing dimensions and mounting drill holes of the magnet sensor
The magnet sensor has two drill holes with a diameter of 5 mm each with which it can be
mounted by putting screws through the holes.
We recommend the usage of non-mag-
netizable VA screws.
The drill holes have a distance of 140 mm to each other (center of
hole <—> center of hole). The magnet sensor is to be mounted diagonally to the direction
of travel with the connectors facing upwards (first sketch in Figure 6 above). The recom-
mended reading height is 60 mm from the bottom edge of the casing to the magnetic tape.
Note
Around the sensor there has to be an area free of ferromagnetic materials. Thus the sensor
usually can‘t be mounted directly onto the body of the vehicle. We recommend using a
mounting bracket or mounting plate, e.g. made from Aluminium or acrylic glass (e.g. Plexi-
glas®), see Figure 7 below.
