Installation and First Start-Up
- 15 -
The tape must be glued smoothly on the surface. The measuring accuracy decreases if the tape is not even!
Before gluing the magnetic tape and the cover tape onto the surface, they should be left lying on the mounting
surface for ca. 30 minutes so that the temperature matches. This prevents strain in the tape due to thermal ex-
pansion.
Mounting steps:
1.
Thoroughly clean the surface (
2.
Acclimatization: let magnetic tape and cover tape adjust their temperature
3.
Remove the protection foil from the magnetic tape
4.
Glue magnetic tape under great pressure
5.
Thoroughly clean surface of magnetic tape
6.
Remove the protection foil from the cover tape
7.
Glue the cover tape under great pressure
8.
Safeguard the ends of the cover tape against peeling off, e.g. by using end caps (

Installation of the Magnetic Ring
Mounting on the axle is carried out either as a thermal fit or by adhesive bonding. If the magnetic ring is to be
bonded, we recommend using the adhesive "Loctite AA 326" including pretreatment with the activator "Loctite
7649". The adjustment to the shaft should be made uniformly over the entire circumference so that no unbal-
ance can occur.
NOTE: External Magnetic Fields
The magnetic ring must not be influenced by external magnetic fields! The magnetic ring
must not come into direct contact with other magnetic fields (e.g. permanent magnets,
magnetic clamps, electromagnets, magnetic stands)! This may cause irreparable damage,
which will compromise the measuring accuracy or even the functioning.
