Method #1 Installation Instructions

Installation consists of:
• Making a support assembly
• Mounting the target bracket on the support assembly
• Mounting the support assembly
• Mounting the proximity sensor
• Connecting the wiring
• Adjusting the amplifier (iLink car top box)
• Verifying performance
• Adjusting iControl parameters
• Maintenance recommendations
The Support Assembly
1. Cut a piece of 1 ¼" x 1 ¼" or 1 ½" x 1 ½" steel angle to span the width of the floor as
shown in Figures 8.3 and 8.6.
2. Cut two more 2" lengths of angle to attach the long piece as close as possible to the outer
edge of the floor. When attaching the angles together, provide 3/8" clearance to allow
for floor sagging (see Figure 8.6).
Mount the Target Bracket
1. Bolt the two-piece target bracket in the middle of the support assembly so that the slots
allow the target to be adjusted (see Figure 8.6).
Mount the Support Assembly
1. The support assembly attaches to the bottom of the floor of the isolated platform as
close to the outside edge as possible, preferably attaching between the two channels
comprising part of the safety plank (see Figure 8.4). Hold the support assembly for the
proper 1/4" spacing between the target bracket and the channel shown in Figure 8.4
where the sensor will be mounted and mark the holes to drill to attach the support
assembly to the floor. Be sure to leave room for the sensor and mounting bracket.
2. Drill the holes and mount the support assembly.
3. Verify the target bracket to channel space is still 1/4" (1/8" to 3/4" after mounting).
Mount the Proximity Sensor
1. Mount the proximity sensor and bracket on the channel closest to the front of the car.
Center the sensor over the target with about 1/16" (or less) space between the target and
sensor (see Figure 8.4).
Connect the Wiring
1. Connect proximity sensor wires to iLink CTP board terminals.
• For Square D/Telemechanique Sensor Part # XSP-H08362 the color coding is:
Brown sensor wire to +26V terminal
Black sensor wire to LW+ terminal
Blue sensor wire to LW- terminal
