The sensor is a non-flush mounted proximity switch (recognizable by the caps). The active surface (cap)
must protrude >24 mm from the metallic installation medium.
Switch the machine off and secure it against a restart.
l
Select a suitable location in the vicinity of the measurement marks.
l
The measurement mark should have a diameter of at least 10 mm. The distance between the measurement
mark and the sensor must not exceed 8 mm.
WARNING! Risk of injury due to fragments!
Insufficient measuring distance can lead to contact between the measurement mark and the sensor. Con-
tact may cause fragments to spall and cause serious injuries to persons.
When setting the measuring distance, give due consideration to any radial shaft movement that may
occur.
Drill a hole in the mounting surface; diameter = 19 mm.
l
Unscrew the front locking nut from the sensor and push the sensor through the mounting hole. Screw the
l
locking nut back onto the sensor and tighten the arrangement.
The optimum measurement distance can be adjusted with the locking nuts. The LED on the sensor head
l
always lights up when a measurement mark passes the sensor.
Mount the sensor using a suitable mounting bracket if it cannot be attached directly to the housing or a
cover. Ensure that the arrangement is not excited by machine vibrations. If the RPM sensor is installed on
the same retaining plate as the system RPM sensor, ensure that the system sensor is working flawlessly.
