RTLC40/FASTRACK : Reference mark selector and limit magnet installation For accuracy and ease of positioning of reference mark selector and limit magnets, the applicator tool (A-9653-0201) should be used. The magnet should be attached to the applicator tool as shown below and aligned with the outer edge of the FASTRACK. Limit magnets can be positioned at any user defined location along the FASTRACK, but the reference mark selector magnet should be positioned adjacent to the chosen IN-TRAC reference mark as shown below. -
