5.1.6.2 Replacing the TRAK Sensor
1.
Remove the old sensor by removing the clamp screw and then backing the load screw out a few
turns. The sensor should lift off the base easily.
2.
Install the new sensor on the M5 base using the clamp screw.
3.
Load the sensor against the running surface (table or run bar) using the load screw. The white lines
on the side of the M5 base tell you when it is loaded correctly.
Note:
You want to load the gage wheel against the running surface using the flat spring of the M5 base. Do not
tighten the clamp screw fully until after loading the sensor.
