4.3 Mounting the magnetic tape

External magnetic fields
Magnetic tape's magnetization gets lost. Any direct contact of the mag-
netic tape with magnetic fields (e. g. adhesive magnets or other perma-
nent magnets) is to be avoided. Sensor movements during power loss are
not captured by the follower electronics.
` Protect the magnetic tape from impact by external magnets.
Solving bonding of the magnetic tape
` Remove foreign anti-adhesive substances including oil, grease or dust
by means of detergents that are preferably evaporating residue-free.
Suitable detergents include ketones (acetone) or alcohol offered for
instance as fast cleaning agents by the Loctite or 3M companies.
` For optimum bonding, the surfaces to be bonded must be dry and
bonding shall be carried out with maximum contact pressure.
` Observe a bonding temperature between 20 °C and 30 °C in dry rooms.
Deterioration of measuring accuracy
` Mount the magnetic tape level with the mounting surface or distance
to be measured. Unevenness deteriorates the measuring accuracy.
Length of the magnetic tape
` For technical reasons, the magnetic tape must be ≥47 mm longer than
the distance to be measured.
If suitable mounting of the magnetic tape is not possible due to insuffi-
cient fastening possibilities, you can mount the magnetic tape into the
profile rails PS or PS1, which are available as accessories.
When applying long pieces of magnetic tape do not immediately remove
the complete protective film, but rather peel back a short part from the
end sufficient to fix the tape. Now align the tape. As the protective tape is
then peeled back and out press the tape firmly onto the mounting surface.
A wall paper roller wheel could be used to assist in applying pressure onto
the magnetic tape when fixing it in position.
Mounting (Fig. 2):
1. Clean mounting surface
2. Remove protective film
3. Stick down the magnetic tape
4. Clean surface of magnetic tape carefully.
5. Remove protective film
6. Fix cover tape (both ends should slightly overlap).
7. Also fix cover tape's ends to avoid unintentional peeling.
