Mounting the magnetic sensor
Use two M3 screws to fix the magnetic sensor. We recommend to use washers.
Cable layout should avoid damages due to cable strain or other machine parts. If necessary use a drag
chain or protective hose and provide for strain relief.
Sensor must be aligned correctly with respect to the counting direction. This can be ignored if counting
direction can be changed via the follower electronics.

Definition of counting direction
Distance measurements between sensor and magnetic tape and angular tolerances, must be main-
tained over the entire test section! (
Img.5-6: to
The max. gap without cover strip is 0.2 mm + 0.1 / -0mm. When using cover strip, the gap is reduced by the
thickness of cover strip including its cover strip. Sensor must not touch the magnetic strip.
