3.4 Profile of the magnetic tape (Figure 2)
It is mandatory to pair the sensor with the
MTAG type magnetic tape
.
The profile of the magnetic tape can be secured:
1. to a sliding device driven manually, pneumatically or by a motor; in this
first case the tape will move back and forth while the sensor will be
mounted in a fixed position;
2. or to a fixed support: in this case, the tape will be mounted in a fixed
position while the sensor will move back and forth.
The profile must be installed so that the active magnetic surface (black side) is
turned towards the active surface of the sensor (electronic card).
Use
one TSP M4 UNI 7688 type countersunk head screw
to secure the
profile of the magnetic tape; insert the screw in the hole provided at one end of
the profile. The screw is 10 mm min. long.
The maximum tightening torque is
2.5 Nm
.
The length of the profile ranges between 195 mm / 7.677” and 650 mm / 25.59”.
WARNING
Do not expose the sensor and the magnetic tape to magnetic fields. Avoid any
possible interference of the unit with magnetic fields.
WARNING
After having installed the sensor on the magnetic tape a zero setting operation
is compulsorily required. The zero setting operation is further required every
time either the sensor or the tape is replaced. For any information on the zero
setting operation please refer to the “4.1.5 Zero setting input” section on page
13.
3.5 Measuring length (Figure 1)
The
maximum tape length L
is between 195 mm / 7.677”” and 650 mm /
25.59” (for further information refer the order code in the product datasheet).
As the sensor area has always to be fully within the limits of the tape magnetic
surface, then the
maximum measuring length ML
is the maximum tape
length minus the sensor length (see the Figure 1) = L – 80 mm / 3.149” (115
mm / 4.528” ÷ 570 mm / 22.441”).
3.6 Standard counting direction (Figure 2)
The positive counting direction (count up information) is achieved when the
sensor moves on the tape according to the white arrow shown in Figure 2; or,
on the contrary, when the tape moves according to the black arrow shown in
Figure 2. For further information see the “4.1.6 Counting direction input” section
on page 14.
