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
supplied by SIKO GmbH. If the units are 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
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, sol-
vents.
3.1 Mounting the magnetic strip
The mounting surface / measuring track must be
flat. Buckles or bumps will lead to measuring in-
accuracies.
For applications which do not allow properly glueing of the magne-
tic 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 min.
137mm 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; 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 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.
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).
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 over-
lap).
Also fix cover strip's ends to avoid unintenti-
onalpeeling.
