3. Mechanical assembl
The installation may only be carried out in accordance with the specified IP protection class. If necessary, the system
must be additionally protected against harmful environmental influences, e.g. splash water, solvents, dust, impacts,
vibrations, strong temperature fluctuations.
3.1 Mounting the magnetic Strip
The mounting must be flat to the mounting surface or the distance to be measured. Waviness always reduces the
measuring accuracy.
For technical reasons, the length must be at least 13 mm longer than the measuring section.
Wherever no suitable mounting of the magnetic Strip is possible due to insufficient mounting options, the magnetic
strip AM000085 (10mm width) can be mounted in a section rail (AM000050) available as an accessor . This creates a
compact magnetic strip unit.
Attention! To achieve optimum bonding, all anti-adhesive foreign substances (oil, grease, dust, etc.) must be removed
by cleaning agents which evaporate as far as possible without leaving any residue. Suitable cleaning agents
include ketones (acetone) or alcohols, which are offered as quick cleaners by the companies Loctite and
3M, among others. The surfaces to be bonded must be dry and the highest possible contact pressure must
be applied. The optimal bonding temperature is between 20°C and 30°C in dry rooms.
Tip: When bonding long tapes, the protective film of the adhesive tape should be removed via a short section to fix
the tape. The tape is then aligned. Now the protective film can be pulled out sideways via the remaining length
while simultaneously applying pressure to the tape. (A wallpaper pressure roller can be used as an aid).
Assembl steps
Clean the mounting surface (1) carefully.
Remove the protective film (2) of the adhesive tape (3) from the mag-
netic strip.
Stick on the magnetic strip (4).
Clean the magnetic strip surface carefully.
Remove the protective film (6) of the adhesive tape from the cover strip
(5).
Stick on the cover strip (let it overlap slightly at both ends).
Secure the overlapping ends of the cover strip against detachment.
Attention! Avoid interference from magnetic fields. In particular, no magnetic fields (e.g. holding magnets or other
permanent magnets) may come into direct contact with the magnetic strip. In de-energized status,
movements or adjustments of the magnetic sensor are not recognized and detected by the subsequent
electronics.
