1. Safety 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, te-
sted and is ready for use. Please respect all
warnings and information which are marked
either directly on the device or in this document.
• Warranty can only be claimed for components
supplied by SIKO GmbH. If the system is used
together with other products, the warranty for the
complete system is invalid.
• Repairs should be carried out only at our
works. If any information is missing or unclear,
please contact the SIKO sales staff.

3. Installation
The unit sshould only be used according to the
protection level provided. Protect the system, if
necessary, against environmental influences
such as sprayed water, dust, knocks, extreme
temperatures, solvents.
3.1 Mounting the magnetic strip
The mounting surface / measuring track must be
flat. Buckles or bumps will lead to measuring
inaccuracies.
For applications which do not allow properly glueing of the
magnetic strip, it can be inserted into a profile rail (accessory)
- eg. rail type PS or PS1 thus forming a compact mounting
unit.
For technical reasons the strip should be approx.
25 mm longer than the actual measuring di-
stance.
Attention! To guarantee optimal adhesion oil,
grease dust etc. must be removed by using
cleansing agents which evaporate without lea-
ving residues. Suitable cleansing agents are eg.
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 tempera-
tures between 20 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 (see 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).
