For your own safety and operational safety, please ob- serve all safety warnings and instructions. Precondition for safe operation is the compliance with the specified safety and handling instruc- tions. -
Page 6: Demounting And Disposal
General, Safety, Transport and Storage Demounting and Disposal Unless acceptance and disposal of returned goods are agreed upon, demount the device considering the safety instructions of this manual and dispose it with respect to the environment. Before demounting, disconnect the power supply and secure against re-start. Then disconnect the supply lines physically and discharge remaining energy. -
Page 7: Conventional Use
General, Safety, Transport and Storage Conventional Use The ELGO-device is only conceived for the conventional use described in this manual. The magnetic linear encoder GMIX2 only serves to measure lengths, positions, angle and speeds. CAUTION! Danger through non-conventional use! Non-intended use and non-observance of this operating manual can lead to dangerous situations. Therefore: Only use the device as described ... -
Page 8: Product Features
Product Features 5 Product Features GMIX2 is an incremental sensor that can be mounted at a distance of up to 4 mm to the magnetic tape ( 7.5). For rotative resp. radial applications a magnet ring ( 7.6) can be used alternatively. The evaluation electronics, which converts the measured signals into 90°... -

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 13: 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. permanent magnets, mag- netic clamps, electromagnets, magnetic stands)! This may cause irreparable damage, which will compromise the measuring accuracy or even the functioning. - Page 14 Installation and First Start-Up 7.2.2 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 15 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 16: Mounting The Sensor Head
Installation and First Start-Up Mounting the Sensor Head To mount the sensor head, use 2 x M3 screws of adequate length. see also section 6.2 Sensor Dimensions During installation, the specified installation tolerances must also be adhered to: 7.3.1 Mounting Tolerances Table 2: Mounting tolerances... -
Page 17: Mounting Direction
Installation and First Start-Up Mounting Direction On the underside of the sensor there is a sticker which signals the magnetic tape side with the active sensor areas. In addition, the -marking indicates the positive counting direction. Alignment of the Sensor to the Magnetic Tape For linear applications with a magnetic tape, the center of the sensor is aligned to the center of the magnetic tape. -
Page 18: Alignment Of The Sensor To The Magnetic Ring
Installation and First Start-Up Alignment of the Sensor to the Magnetic Ring For rotative or radial applications with a magnetic ring, the diameter of the ring must be large enough so that both active sensor areas (see red hatched surfaces in the figure below) are within the permitted mounting dis- tance of max. -
