Mounting the Sensor
For mounting, two mounting holes are available on the sensor housing. Please fasten the sensor with two or
three M3 screws of sufficient length (see dimensional drawing

Alignment to Magnetic Tape
To ensure that the active sensor surface is correctly positioned over the tape, the sensor must be aligned central-
ly to the magnetic tape. A lateral offset of ± 0.5 mm is permitted. The reading distance between the sensor and
the magnetic tape should be selected over the entire measuring distance so that the sensor does not touch the
tape and at the same time does not exceed a value of 0.3 mm (or 0.6 mm without cover tape).

NOTE:
When mounting the sensor, it must also be ensured that the mounting tolerances de-
scribed in section
7.5.3 are observed.
Instructions for installation of the magnetic tape can be found in section
