1. General Notes
• Sensor ø3,5 mm may not be machined
• Front of sensor must be clean and without notches
• Only use recommended installation accessories
• Do not use cable to pull sensor out of hole
2. Important Areas of Sensor Hole
Note the following critical installation criteria:
1. Sensor contact surface must be flat and perpendicular
2. Hole with H7 tolerance to center sensor
3. Chamfer to assist installation
4. Sharp edges reduce witness mark on part
3. Hole
3.1 Unmachined Sensor
For use in flat cavity wall with sensor fitted at right angles
to cavity.
• Hole and thread must be free of debris and shav-
ings
• Use checking tool Type 1365, also to lapp hole

3.1.1 Sensor with Mounting Nut Type 6465

Electrical discharge machine (EDM), mill or precision grind H7
hole in hardened tool steel. Check centering and alignment.
Clean thread of debris and shavings.
6184A_002-504e-07.09
• Always use spacer sleeve Type 6466

3.1.2 Sensor with Thrust Washer Type 6470

EDM, mill or precision grind H7 hole in hardened tool steel.
Check centering and alignment. Clean thread of debris and
shavings.
• Always use spacer sleeve Type 6466

3.2 Cavity-Matched Sensor

This sensor have a chrome-plated front surface.
This sensor may not be machined.
All liability and warranty claims become void in the case of a
sensor whose front has been machined.
• This sensor may NOT be machined
4. Cable Channeling and Connector
• Fixed cable reduces mounting
• Do not run cables next to hot runner cartridge
• Chamfer all sharp edges
• Cover open channels/slots

4.1 Single-Wire Cable Technology

The single-wire technology uses the tool steel to ensure elec-
trical shielding of the sensor signal. Thus the wiring is routed
through drilled holes or channels.
• Single-wire cable must be completely enclosed in mold
• Single-wire cable must not be routed with power
cables

4.1.1 Single-Wire Cut and Grip Connector Type 1839

Machine cable channel and recess for mounting plate.
Example shown: Drilled hole
Example shown: Channel
• Observe radii
• Cover open channel to prevent cable damage

4.1.2 Multichannel Single-Wire Connectors

Recess for 4-channel connector Type 1708A...
Recess for 8-channel connector Type 1710A...
