Always verify the sensor receiver mount is the correct size for your
motor. It must be thin enough to fit between the cooling fins
in a preferred location according to the installation instructions
found on page 2 of this manual. The sensor receiver must be long
enough to make contact with the motor frame and extend beyond
the cooling fins. Loctite™ 3463 putty will be used to fill the gaps
between the cooling fins and the sensor receiver mount.
Step 1
Use solvent (i.e. paint thinner or acetone) to remove debris
and oils from mounting surface.
CAUTION: REVIEW AND FOLLOW ALL MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS
AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING SOLVENTS.
Step 2
Use sandpaper or similar abrasive material to remove paint
from mounting surface. Repeat step 1.
Step 3
Remove putty from tube and cut a 1.5 to 2.0 inch (approx. 4 to 5
cm) length for use in installation of sensor mount. Amount used
will vary depending on fin width of motor.
CAUTION: REVIEW AND FOLLOW ALL MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS
AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING ADHESIVE MOUNTING PUTTY.
Step 4
Twist and knead putty until all the putty has exactly the same
uniform color according to manufacturer's instructions. This
should take no more than 5 minutes.
Step 5
Firmly apply putty to clean surface between motor fins,
completely filling the gap between motor fins. Putty should
be approximately 1.25 to 1.5 inch (3 to 4 cm) wide.
Step 6
Immediately after applying putty, insert sensor mount into
center of putty, pressing firmly until bottom of mount makes
contact with motor frame. Form any excess putty against
sides of mount. For best adhesion, the sensor mount should
not make direct contact with the fins.
