cold weather, causing an increase in static electricity.
1.1.2 Magnetic sensitive devices
The encoder rings of “Sense” products are magnetized with a magnetic pattern that can be changed by
various influences.
Special precautions must be taken to maintain the quality of the magnetic pattern permanently:
Remove all strong magnets near the encoder rings - the stronger the magnet, the higher the risk of
damage.
Keep strong magnets away from the encoder rings even for short moments. The farther away, the lower is
the effect on the rings.
Make sure that no contact can occur between the encoder rings and strong permanent magnets or
electromagnets during assembly.
Avoid all materials between the encoder ring and, for example, a magnetic brake, being magnetic.
When storing, supplying and picking parts, make sure the encoder rings are not transported or stored with
other magnets. This includes permanent magnets for electric motors.
Remove all tools with magnetic properties from the assembly area, including magnetized screwdrivers
(often indicated by a black tip).
Do not use magnet holders or handling magnets for the encoder rings.
Remove all bags or garments with magnetic closures when working with the encoders rings.
Avoid possible inductances caused by high voltage power lines near the encoder rings.
Do not store encoder rings in a contiguous way as this may cause magnetic interference.
Observe the minimal distance between the rings of 5 mm.
