WARNING
Do not remove the protective cover
The cover weakens the magnetic field and protects electrical
components from magnetic influences.
Severe crushing injuries may result if the strong magnetic field of
the permanent magnets in the magnetic plate unexpectedly at-
tracts the components magnetically during assembly.
Observe the alignment
Align the magnetic plates identically. The Beckhoff logo must al-
ways be on the same side.
If this is not observed, the adjacent magnetic plates repel each
other. As a result, the coil part cannot move without restriction. The
system is not operational.
Observe minimum clearance
Keep the required minimum distance when mounting additional
magnetic plates. This is 48 mm between hole centers. During
mounting, maintain a distance of at least 10 cm between the mag-
netic plate to be mounted and the mechanically protected coil part.
Failure to observe this can lead to complications during installation.
Minimum distance (example)
The diagram shows the minimum distance between two magnetic
plates.
• Distance between hole centers: 48 mm
