7.3.4 How to install the Sensor and the Magnetic Tape
The location of the reference pulse can be detected by using the magnetic magnifying glass which is included in
the delivery. Please ensure that the mounting is centrally aligned with the magnetic tape center, because the
sensor is wider than the magnetic tape. When ordering, the reference pulse position is starting from the right
side of the magnetic tape.
