Secure the overlapping ends of the cover against detachment .
ATTENTION!
Do not expose the system to magnetic fields. Any direct contact of the magnetic strip
with magnetic fields (e.g. adhesive magnets or other permanent magnets) is to be
avoided. Sensor movements during power loss are not captured by the follower
electronics.
2.6.2 Installation examples
The simpler installation method using beveled protective tape (
Img.2-1:) is only to be rec-
ommended in thoroughly protected surroundings. In less protected mounting places the strip
may peel. In such cases, mounting methods as shown in
more suitable.
Optimal protection can be achieved through mounting in a groove (
Img.2-4:), which should
be deep enough that the magnetic strip can be fully embedded.
2.6.3 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.
Maximal travel speed < 5m/s
