1. Warranty information

page 1

In order to carry out installation correctly, we strongly recommend this document is read very carefully. This
will ensure your own safety and the operating reliability of the device.

Your device has been quality controlled, tested and is ready for use. Please observe all warnings and
information which are marked either directly on the device or specified in this document.

Warranty can only be claimed for components supplied by ipf electronic gmbh. If the system is used together
with other products, there is no warranty for the complete system.

Repairs should be carried out only at our works. For further questions don‘t hesitate to contact the ipf
electronic gmbh.

2. Identification

magnetic strip: The standard magnetic strip with a width of 10mm has the article no. AM000049.
magnetic sensor: The label shows the device type with article number, which clearly identifies the device.

3. Mechanical mounting

For mounting, the degree of protection specified must be observed. If necessary, protect the unit against
environmental influences such as sprayed water, dust, knocks, vibrations and extreme temperatures.

3.1 Mounting of the magnetic strip

The mounting surface / measuring track must be flat. Buckles or bumps will lead to measuring inaccuracies.

For technical reasons the strip should be approx. 57mm longer than the actual measuring distance.

If suitable mounting of the magnetic strip is not possible due to insufficient fastening possibilities, you can
mount the magnetic strip into the profile rail AM000050, which is available as accessory.

Attention! To guarantee optimal adhesion oil, grease dust etc. must be removed by using cleansing agents

Fett,

which evaporate without leaving residues. Suitable cleansing agents are e.g. ketones
(acetone) or alcohols; the companies Loctite and 3M can both supply such cleansing liquid.
Make sure that the surface to be glued is dry and apply the strip with maximum pressure.
Glueing should preferably be undertaken

at temperatures between 20°C to 30°C and in dry

atmosphere.

Advice! When applying long pieces of magnetic strip do not immediately remove the complete protective foil,

but rather peel back a short part from the end sufficient to fix the strip. Now align the strip. The protective
strip can then be peeled back and put out from the side while pressing the tape firmly onto the mounting
surface. A wall paper roller wheel could be used to assist in applying pressure onto the magnetic strip
when fixing it in position.

Mounting steps (Fig.1)

• Clean mounting surface (1) carefully.

• Remove protective film (2) of the adhesive strip (3).

• Stick down the magnetic strip (4).

• Clean the surface of the magnetic strip carefully.

• Remove the protective strip (6) of the cover strip (5).

• Fix cover strip (both ends should slightly overlap).

• Also fix strip's ends to avoid unintentional peeling.

Fig. 1: Mounting of the magnetic strip

Attention! Do not expose the system to magnetic fields. Any direct contact of the magnetic strip with magnetic fields

(e.g. adhesive magnets or other permanent magnets) is to be avoided. Sensor movements
during power loss are not captured by the subsequent electronics.
