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.
7.2.1 The Magnetic Tape MB20-50-10-1-R
In the standard case, the magnetic tape is delivered as described
It is installed by gluing it to the respective mounting surface.
The magnetic tape consists of 2 pre-assembled components (see Figure 7: Components of the magnetic tape
below):
A magnetized, flexible plastic tape (Pos. 3), which is connected with a magnetically conductive steel

tape as inference band (Pos. 4) and is supplied with an adhesive tape (Pos. 5).
A magnetized permeable cover tape (Pos. 1), which serves for the mechanical protection of the plastic

tape (not required for the measurement) and is supplied with an adhesive tape (Pos. 2).
Therefore a divergent tape structure and scope of delivery is also possible.
The cover tape is also available separately
