    Product Features 3 Product Features LIMAX02 is an absolute measuring shaft information system that is used for positioning of elevator cars. It con- sists of only two components: sensor and magnetic band. A big advantage of the system is the simple and flexible installation. The assembly of the system components is very simple and can be performed by specialists in less than an hour.

  • Page 14: Description Installation / Mounting Of The Magnetic Tape

    Installation and First Start-Up 5.2.2 Installation of the Sensor The sensor is fixated on the cabin or on the car frame. The mounting position is basically determined by the condition. The integrated mounting notches on the housing of the sensor head allow for a very simple and self- explanatory installation from three sides.
  • Page 15 Installation and First Start-Up 5.3.2 Installation Concept 5.3.2.1 Basic Principle for the Mounting NOTE! The magnetic tape itself is not designed to withstand excessive mechanical wear. It is there- fore important to ensure that the system is installed such that the mechanical contact between tape and sensor head is mainly between the steel tape and the polymer sensor guide.
  • Page 16 Installation and First Start-Up 5.3.3 Installation Procedure Attach the top end of the tape in the shaft head. Ideally use an ELGO Mounting Kit. Check for correct orientation of the tape. The arrows on the magnetic side must point in upward direction. Shaft head Shaft pit Figure 9: Correct orientation of the magnetic tape...
  • Page 17 Installation and First Start-Up Adjust now the distance between sensor and tape. Up to a travel height of 50 m we recommend an offset of at least 15 mm. This will ensure steady contact between steel side of the band and the polymer guide of the sensor.
  • Page 18 Installation and First Start-Up IMPORTANT: Installation check! Values for tape tension and offset between tape and sensor are guidelines based on experience. But in any case, a proper check after installation is mandatory. It must absolutely be avoided that the magnetic side constantly grinds on the sensor body during operation.
