Waycon SX Series Operating and maintenance instructions

INSTALLATION GUIDE
FIRST STEPS
Draw wire sensors series SX50, SX80, SX120
For further information please see the data sheet at
www.waycon.biz/products/draw-wire-sensors
MOUNTING OF THE SENSOR
• Mount the sensor at the designated place by using the xing holes before extracting the rope and
before attaching the rope to the measuring target.
• The sensor is usually installed by using the regular mounting plate. By disassembling the mounting
plate, threads will become visible in the sensor housing for alternative installation. Sensors with
option rope outlet S2 and S3 have a modied base plate.
• Open the rope clip after the sensor is fully mounted and carefully extract the measuring rope. Hook
the rope clip on the measuring target and close the bracket of the clip. For safety reasons put a screw
driver through the clip to extract the rope.
HANDLING THE WIRE ROPE
• When installing or operating the sensor, take care not to let the rope snap back by mistake or extract
the rope over the specied measurement range, as this might destroy the sensor.
• The rope must be extracted from the sensor vertically. The maximum variation from the vertical is
3°. Avoid extracting the rope at an inclination, since the durability of the instrument would shorten
considerably. If it is not possible to keep the limit of 3°, a deection pulley has to be used.
• Guide the rope preferably in corners or guarded in channels to prevent pollution or accidental touch.
• Avoid guiding the rope over edges or corners. Use a deection pulley instead.
• Do not operate the sensor if the rope is buckled or damaged. A ripping of the rope may lead to
injuries or a damaging of the sensor.
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.

WARNING NOTICES
• Do not try to open the device.The stored energy of the spring drive may lead to injuries when being
mishandled.
• Do not touch the rope when operating the sensor.
• When mounting outdoors protect the sensor and the rope from icing at temperatures below 0 °C.
The usage of a deection pulley may help defrosting the wire rope.
• When operating the sensor in a humid environment, install the sensor with the rope outlet
downwards. Otherwise water will gather inside the housing, which leads to corrosion. Where
applicable use option S3.
MAINTENANCE
The devices are maintenance-free. If however, the rope is soiled due to adverse environmental
conditions, it can be cleaned with a cloth drenched in resin-free machine oil.
