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 system is used
together with other products, there is no warranty
for the complete system.
• Repairs should be carried out only at our works.
If any information is missing or unclear, please
contact the SIKO sales staff.
2. Identification
Magnetic sensor: Please check the particular type
of unit and type number from the identification
plate. Type number and the corresponding version
are indicated in the delivery documentation.

3. Summary description
The sensor collects the absolute travel information
of the encoded magnetic band MBA501. The abso-
lute position value can be read from an upstream
control unit with a resolution of 5μm (or 10µm)
via encoder interface. In addition, an incremental
interface with quadrature signals in various reso-
lutions is available as an option. Various sensor
operational modes (parameterization, calibration
value) can be set via external input.
In the service mode set via the "Config" external
input, the data interface (D+, D-) functions in the
bidirectional RS485 mode. Using a RS485/RS232
protocol converter, the sensor can be connected
to a PC and parameterized according to the prede-
fined set of commands via any terminal program.
On the sensor's upper side, there is a two-colour
LED for diagnostic purposes, which permits the in-
dication of error and other states.

4. 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.
Mounting the magnetic strip
The mounting surface / measuring track must be flat.
Buckles or bumps will lead to measuring inaccura-
cies. Please protect the magnetic strip from mecha-
nical damage (e.g. against blows and vibration).
For technical reasons the strip should be approx.
80mm longer than the actual measuring distance.
required tape length = measuring section + 80mm
(min. 200mm)

Attention! To guarantee optimal adhesion oil,
grease dust etc. must be removed by using clean-
sing agents which evaporate without leaving resi-
dues. Suitable cleansing agents are e.g. ketones
(acetone) or alcohols; Messrs. Loctite and 3M can
both supply such cleaning liquid. Make sure that
the surface to be glued is dry and apply the strip
