Mounting of the magnetic sensor
The sensor senses the absolute travel information of the MBA magnetic tape.
The magnetic sensor must be correctly aligned relative to the magnetic tape.
Arrows on the sensor must point in the same direction as the arrows on the
magnetic tape.
Mounting the magnetic tape
Stick the magnetic tape level to the mounting surface or the distance to be
measured. Unevenness impairs measuring accuracy.
Mounting steps:
• Clean mounting surface
carefully.

• Fix cover tape (both ends should slightly overlap).
• Also fix cover tape's ends to avoid unintentional peeling.
Notice!
The tolerance and gap measures must be observed over the whole measuring
length.

Electrical Installation
The location should be selected to ensure that no capacitive or inductive inter-
ferences can affect the sensor or the connection lines!
• All lines for connecting the magnetic sensor must be shielded.
• Wiring to screen and ground (0 V) should be done star-shaped and with a
large surface area. Ensure that the connection of the screen and potential
equalization is made to a large surface area (with low impedance).
• When mounting the system keep a maximum possible distance from lines
loaded with interference. Use screening shields or metallized housings.
• Contactor coils must be linked with spark suppression.
