FIRST STEPS
WayCon Positionsmesstechnik GmbH would like to thank you for the trust you have placed in us and
our products. This manual will make you familiar with the installation and operation of our draw wire
sensors. 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
• Please start by mounting the encoder to the SX draw wire mechanics. A description is given on the
following pages.
• Next 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.
• Depending on the sensor model it can be installed either by using the boreholes in the mounting
plate or by using the supplied T-slot nuts/clamp brackets. You will find a detailed description of both
installation methods in this installation guide.
• 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.
