3. Installation
For mounting, the degree of protection specified
must be observed. Protect the unit, if necessary,
against environmental influences such as sprayed
water, dust, knocks, extreme temperatures.

Magnetic Sensor and Strip
3.1 Mounting the magnetic strip
The mounting surface/measuring track must be
flat. Buckles or bumps will lead to inaccurate mea-
surement results. Please protect the magnetic strip
from mechanical damage (e.g. against shocks and
vibration).
For technical reasons the strip should be min.
178 mm longer than the actual measuring distance.
Attention!
To guarantee
optimal adhesion
oil,
grease dust etc. must be removed by using cleans-
ing agents which evaporate without leaving resi-
dues. 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 pref-
erably 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 mounting
surface. A wall paper roller wheel could be used to
assist in applying pressure onto the magnetic strip
when fixing it in position.
