User Information

Mangetic sensor and strip
3.1 Mounting the magnetic strip
The mounting surface / measuring track must
be flat. Buckles or bumps will lead to inaccurate
measurement results. Please protect the magnetic
strip from mechanical damage (eg. against shocks
and vibration).
For technical reasons the strip should be min.
195mm 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 re-
sidues. Suitable cleansing agents are eg. ketones
(acetone) or alcohols; the companies Loctite and
3M can both supply such cleaning liquid. Make
sure that the surface to be glued is dry and apply
the strip with maximum pressure. Glueing should
preferably be carried out 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 moun-
ting surface. A wall paper roller wheel could be
used to assist in applying pressure onto the mag-
netic strip when fixing it in position.
