with maximum pressure. Glueing should preferably
be undertaken at temperatures between 20°C to
30°C and in dry atmosphere.
Advice! When applying long pieces of magnetic
strip do not immediately remove the complete
protective foil, but rather peel back a short part
from the end sufficient to fix the strip. Now align
the strip. As the protective strip is then peeled
back and out press the tape firmly onto the moun-
ting surface. A wall paper roller wheel could be
used to assist in applying pressure onto the mag-
netic strip when fixing it in position.
Mounting steps (fig. 1)
• Clean mounting surface (1)
• Remove protective foil (2) from the adhesive side
of the magnetic tape (3).
• Stick down the magnetic strip (4) while ensuring
correct alignment.
• Clean surface of magnetic strip carefully.
• Remove protective foil (6) from adhesive tape on
the cover strip (5).
• Fix cover strip (both ends should slightly over-
lap).
• Also fix cover strip's ends to avoid unintentional
peeling.
Fig. 1: Mounting the magnetic strip
Attention! Do not expose the magnetic strip to
magnetic fields. Any direct contact of the magnetic
strip with magnetic fields (e.g. adhesive magnets
or other permanent magnets) is to be avoided.
Mounting examples
Mounting with chamfered ends (fig. 2) is not re-
commended unless the strip is installed in a safe
and protected place without environmental influ-
ences. In less protected mounting places the strip
may peel. There we recommend mounting accord.
to fig. 3 and fig. 4.
Mounting in a groove (fig. 5) best protects the
magnetic strip. The groove should be deep enough
to totally embed the magnetic strip.

Mounting the sensor
The magnetic sensor must be mounted so that the
direction of the arrow on the sensor label corres-
ponds with the direction of the arrow on the band
label (see fig. 6).
Fig. 6: Alignment
Caution! After attaching the cover strip, he strip
imprint is no longer visible. It is recommended
that you mark the cover strip correspondingly.
When mounting the magnetic sensor, ensure that
over the total travel distance there is a gap bet-
ween sensor and strip, irrespective whether the
strip or sensor moves. In order to maintain the
correct gap when mounting the sensor, use the
distance piece supplied with it as a gauge.
Major deviations from mounting instructions may
cause measurement errors or malfunctions.
When using cover strip, the gap is reduced by
the thickness of cover strip including its adhe-
sive film.
