LINE AR AND ROTARY SENSORS
ASSEMBLY: contact-free membrane sensors and magnet
Proper installation of our products is important for ensuring reliable operation and a long lifetime.
Please note the installation criteria listed below.
Preparing the surface
The surface on which the membrane sensor is to be mounted has to be free of moisture, oil, grease and dust.
Avoid change in temperature between the membrane sensor and the supporting surface.
In addition, the surface should be flat in order to ensure faultless mounting and operation of the membrane sensor.
Depending on the material of the supporting surface, isopropanol or butanone may be used as a cleaning agent.
MOUNTING the membrane sensor
Remove the protection paper from the adhesive film and place the membrane sensor at the desired position.
Take care not to warp the sensor (bending or twisting).
Gently press on one side of the membrane sensor (see point 1 in the drawing).
Applying even pressure, move across the membrane sensor from the point of application
until the sensor lies flush against the surface, without air bubbles (see point 2 in the drawing).
Mounting the magnet for contactless membrane sensors
In order to ensure proper actuation of the MMP, the magnet has to be mounted as follows:
In order for the measuring signal to be faultless, the magnet needs to be centred above the MMP.
The magnet should be positioned at a distance of < 2.0 mm from the surface of the MMP.
The magnet should be securely, permanently fixed in place. The magnet can be glued on or sealed in.
