ENGLISH
Exemplary sensor illustrations are valid for all sen-
sor types unless described separately.
1. Warranty information
• In order to carry out installation correctly, we
strongly recommend this document is read very
carefully. This will ensure your own safety and the
operating reliability of the device.
• Your device has been quality controlled, tested and
is ready for use. Please observe all warnings and
information which are marked either directly on
the device or specified in this document.
• Warranty can only be claimed for components sup-
plied by SIKO GmbH. If the system is used together
with other products, there is no warranty for the
complete system.
• Repairs should be carried out only at our works.
If any information is missing or unclear, please
contact the SIKO sales staff.
2. Identification
Magnetic strip:
identification by printing on the
strip.
Magnetic sensor:
Please check the particular type
of unit and type number from the identification
plate. Type number and the corresponding version
are indicated in the delivery documentation.

3. Installation
For mounting, the degree of protection specified
must be observed. If necessary, protect the unit
against environmental influences such as sprayed
water, dust, knocks, extreme temperatures.
3.1 Mounting the magnetic strip
The mounting surface / measuring track must be
flat. Buckles or bumps will lead to measuring inac-
curacies.
For applications which do not allow properly glueing of the magnetic
strip, it can be inserted into a
profile rail
(accessory) - e. g. rail type
PS
or
PS1
thus forming a compact mounting unit.
For technical reasons the strip should be approx.
100 mm longer than the actual measuring distance.
Attention!
To guarantee
optimal adhesion
oil,
grease dust etc. must be removed by using clean-
sing agents which evaporate without leaving resi-
dues. Suitable cleansing agents are e. g. ketones
(acetone) or alcohols; Messrs. Loctite and 3M can
both supply such cleansing liquid. Make sure that
the surface to be glued is dry and apply the strip
with maximum pressure. Glueing should preferably
be undertaken at temperatures between 20 °C to
30 °C and in dry atmosphere.
Advice!
When applying long pieces of magnetic
strip do not immediately remove the complete
protective foil, but rather peel back a short part
from the end sufficient to fix the strip. Now align
the strip. As the protective strip is then peeled back
and out press the tape firmly onto the mounting
surface. A wall paper roller wheel could be used to
assist in applying pressure onto the magnetic strip
when fixing it in position.
Mounting steps (Fig. 1)
• Clean mounting surface (1) carefully.
• Remove protective foil (2) from the adhesive side
of the magnetic strip (3).
• Stick down the magnetic strip (4).
• Clean surface of magnetic strip carefully.
• Remove protective foil (6) from adhesive tape on
the cover strip (5).
• Fix cover strip (both ends should slightly overlap).
