Page 10: Installation
6.1 General Information The attention of the installer is drawn to the following general requirements for installation of a Tapeswitch sensing edge system: (a) The machine must be electrically controllable (machine power leveraged by internal/external signals). -
Page 11: Edge Sensor Installation
6.2 Edge sensor Installation The surface on which the edge sensor is mounted must be sound and reasonably flat. Note: Special configurations of edge sensors, designed to be bent or contoured, can be addressed through Tapeswitch at sales@tapeswitch.com. 6.2.2 Mounting guidelines EDGE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE - Edge series configurations and single edge assemblies may be shipped mostly assembled, in a crate. - Page 12 Release 08/2020 Ver. 1.0 Installation Manual: Safety Edge Tapeswitch edge mounting channel options - Figure 6 c. Drill through center of channel at desired intervals. d. Position channels onto pre-determined machine location. Transfer drill if needed. Secure with flat or pan head screws.
