General, Safety, Transport and Storage 2 General, Safety, Transport and Storage Information Operating Manual This manual contains important information regarding the handling of the device. For your own safety and operational safety, please ob- serve all safety warnings and instructions. Precondition for safe operation is the compliance with the specified safety and handling instruc- tions.
General, Safety, Transport and Storage Statement of Warranties The producer guarantees the functional capability of the process engineering and the selected parameters. Demounting and Disposal Unless acceptance and disposal of returned goods are agreed upon, demount the device considering the safety instructions of this manual and dispose it with respect to the environment.
General, Safety, Transport and Storage Conventional Use The ELGO-device is only conceived for the conventional use described in this manual. The EMIX2 - ELGO- length measuring system only serves to measure lengths and distances. CAUTION! Danger through non-conventional use! Non-intended use and non-observance of this operating manual can lead to dangerous situations. Therefore: Only use the device as described ...
Product Features 3 Product Features The EMIX2 is an incremental magnetic length measuring system. The sensor technology and translator circuit are placed in the same small housing. The magnetic tape can also be fixed into a guiding rail by using the provided adhesive tape.
Technical Data 4 Technical Data Identification The type label serves for the identification of the unit. It is located on the housing of the sensor and gives the exact type designation (=order reference, 8) with the corresponding part number. Furthermore, the type label contains a unique, traceable device number.

Installation and First Start-Up 5 Installation and First Start-Up CAUTION Please read the operating manual carefully before using the device! Strictly observe the Instal- lation instructions! In case of damage caused by failure to observe this operating manual, the warranty expires. ELGO is not liable for any secondary damage and for damage to persons, property or assets.
Installation and First Start-Up Installation of the Magnetic Tape NOTE External Magnetic Fields The magnetic tape must not be influenced by external magnetic fields! The magnetic tape must not come into direct contact with other magnetic fields (e.g. perma- nent magnets, magnetic clamps, electromagnets, magnetic stands)! This may cause irrepara- ble damage, which will compromise the measuring accuracy or even the functioning.

Installation and First Start-Up The tape must be glued smoothly on the surface. The measuring accuracy decreases if the tape is not even! Before gluing the magnetic tape and the cover tape onto the surface, they should be left lying on the mounting surface for ca.
Installation and First Start-Up Installation of the Sensor For mounting the sensor two M3 screws are required. Observe the tolerances stated below. 5.3.1 Mechanical Tolerances Tolerances Magnetic tape type MB20-20-10-1-R Ride height 0.1 mm…max. 0.8 mm Pitch The maximum distance of 0.8 mm must not be exceeded at any position Yaw angle +/- 5 °...

Installation and First Start-Up 5.3.2 Alignment of Sensor / Magnetic Tape Since the active sensor surface is not in the center of the sensor housing, it should be ensured that the sensor head is aligned and mounted such that the active sensor surface is in the middle of the magnetic tape. This is achieved in a simple manner and without additional equipment.
