Procedure
1. Thoroughly clean (e.g. with rubbing alcohol) the interior
of the slide rail to remove oil, grease, dust, etc. and let
it dry completely.
2. Note the alignment of the magnetic tape (for more
information, see the sensor head user's guide).
3. Remove a small section of the adhesive protective film
on the rear end of the magnetic tape (Fig. 4-6,A).
4. Place the magnetic tape in the center of the slide rail
(Fig. 4-6, B) so that both ends of the tape are spaced
approximately 1 cm from the end of the rail (the tape
should be approximately 2 cm shorter than the rail).
5. Insert the installation aid (BML-Z0010 accessory) in the
slide rail and position at the rear end of the magnetic
tape, i.e. at the beginning of the measurement track
(Fig. 4-6, C).

6. Remove another section of the protective film
(Fig. 4-6, D).
7. Move the installation aid forward a bit while aligning the
magnetic tape parallel to the slide rail (Fig. 4-6, E).
8. Lightly press the magnetic tape down by hand behind
the installation aid (Fig. 4-6, F).
9. Repeat steps D to F until the entire magnetic tape is
affixed.
Tools and magnetic materials
Pressing down on the magnetic tape with hard tools or

magnetic surface.
f Only use your hand or a soft tool.
f Do not use any magnetic materials.
10. As soon as the magnetic tape is fully affixed, check
whether the slide smoothly glides over the entire slide
rail.
11. Optional: To protect the magnetic tape from
mechanical and chemical influences, affix the stainless
steel cover strip (see 4.3).
