Installation instructions
Obey the following instructions for the installation of ABB Ability
Notes:
• For effective Bluetooth® communication, mount the sensor with a clear line of sight to any communication
devices to be used (your smartphone or a Bluetooth® gateway).
• The mounting orientation must be such that the A-axis on the sensor housing is parallel to the rotating
shaft. If this is not physically possible, the T-axis must be parallel to the rotating shaft.
Mounting position on motor
The sensor must be located between the drive-end and non-drive-end bearings, as near to the center as
possible.
Note: The sensor mount cannot be removed after installation.
Supported motors
This mounting instruction applies for fin-cooled motors equivalent to frame sizes IEC 160–450.

Instructions for hazardous area
1. Ground the aluminum clamp in hazardous area installations. The aluminum clamp supports grounding by
having another M6 thread on the other end of the clamp.
2. Do the grounding according to local regulations. As a reference, the IEC 60079-14 defines the minimum
diameter for grounding wire as 4 mm
