INSTALLATION GUIDE
Draw wire sensors series
FIRST STEPS
Please read this manual carefully before initial operation!
Unpacking and checking:
Carefully lift the device out of the box by grabbing the housing. Do not pull the rope. After unpacking
the device, check it for any visible damage as a result of rough handling during the shipment. Check
the delivery for completeness.
If necessary consult the transportation company, or contact WayCon directly for further assistance.
MOUNTING OF THE SENSOR
• Mount the sensor at the designated place by using the fixing holes before extracting the rope and
before attaching the rope to the measuring target.
• The sensor is usually installed by using the regular mounting plate. By disassembling the mounting
plate, threads will become visible in the sensor housing for alternative installation. Sensors with
option rope outlet S2 and S3 have a modified base plate.
• Open the rope clip after the sensor is fully mounted and carefully extract the measuring rope. Hook
the rope clip on the measuring target and close the bracket of the clip. For safety reasons put a screw
driver through the clip to extract the rope.
HANDLING THE WIRE ROPE
• When installing or operating the sensor, take care not to let the rope snap back by mistake or extract
the rope over the specified measurement range, as this might destroy the sensor.
• The rope must be extracted from the sensor vertically. The maximum variation from the vertical is 3°.
Avoid extracting the rope at an inclination, since the durability of the instrument would shorten
considerably. If it is not possible to keep the limit of 3°, a deflection pulley has to be used.
• Guide the rope preferably in corners or guarded in channels to prevent pollution or accidental touch.
• Avoid guiding the rope over edges or corners. Use a deflection pulley instead.
• Do not operate the sensor if the rope is buckled or damaged. A ripping of the rope may lead to
injuries or a damaging of the sensor.

    PSX50-80-120-manual_1630-21482-0015-E-0820 WARNING NOTICES • Do not try to open the device. The stored energy of the spring drive may lead to injuries when being mishandled. • Do not touch the rope when operating the sensor. • When mounting outdoors protect the sensor and the rope from icing at temperatures below 0 °C. The usage of a deflection pulley may help defrosting the wire rope.
