    Installation and First Start-Up 7 Installation and First Start-Up CAUTION Please read the operating manual carefully before using the device! Strictly observe the Installation instructions! In case of damage caused by failure to observe this operating manual, the warranty expires. ELGO is not liable for any secondary damage and for damage to persons, property or assets.
  • Page 14: Installation Of The Magnetic Tape

    Installation and First Start-Up Installation of the Magnetic Tape NOTE: External Magnetic Fields The magnetic tape must not be influenced by external magnetic fields! The magnetic tape must not come into direct contact with other magnetic fields (e.g. perma- nent magnets, magnetic clamps, electromagnets, magnetic stands)! This may cause irrepara- ble damage, which will compromise the measuring accuracy or even the functioning.
  • Page 15: Figure 7: Handling

    Installation and First Start-Up 7.3.2 Handling In order to avoid tension in the tape, it must not be stretched, compressed or twisted. It should be stored with the magnetized plastic tape to the outside. The minimum bending radius is 150 mm. Magnetized plastic tape Steel tape...
  • Page 16 Installation and First Start-Up The tape must be glued smoothly on the surface. The measuring accuracy decreases if the tape is not even! Before gluing the magnetic tape and the cover tape onto the surface, they should be left lying on the mounting surface for ca.
  • Page 17: Mounting The Sensor

    Installation and First Start-Up Mounting the Sensor To mount the sensor head, use 2 x M3 screws of adequate length (see sensor dimensions  6.2). During installation, the specified mounting tolerances must also be observed: 7.4.1 Mounting Tolerances NOTE! The specified tolerances apply equally to mounting with magnetic tape and magnet rings. For detailed information about sensor alignment to magnet rings refer to section ...
