FIRST STEPS
WayCon Positionsmesstechnik GmbH would like to thank you for the trust you have placed in us and
our products. This manual will make you familiar with the installation and operation of our draw wire
sensors. Please read this manual carefully before initial operation!
Unpacking and checking:
Carefully lift the device out of the box by grabbing the housing. Do not pull the rope. After unpacking
the device, check it for any visible damage as a result of rough handling during the shipment. Check
the delivery for completeness.
If necessary consult the transportation company, or contact WayCon directly for further assistance.
MOUNTING OF THE SENSOR
Mount the sensor at the designated place before extracting the rope and before attaching the rope to
the measuring target.
1. The sensor can be mounted by using the two bore holes in the housing. Use two M3.5 screws and
flat washers. A maximum torque of 0.56 Nm is recommended.
2. LX-Mount (two axis swivel base): With a capability of 360° rotation about the vertical axis and 245°
rotation about the horizontal axis, the LX-Mount allows easy setup of the LX-PA or the LX-EP2
transducer. The axes may be locked in place after the transducer is oriented.
After mounting the LX sensor in its place, carefully tear the wire rope out of the sensor (do not let the
wire rope snap back!) and attach it to the target. The eyelet at the end of the wire rope can be pulled
onto a hook or be fixed to the target using a screw. Do not bend the wire rope leaving the eyelet.
