4. Installation & mounting
4.1 Sensor installation
General
• Seat the flange contact surface completely on the cylinder
mounting surface.
• The cylinder manufacturer determines the pressureresistant gasket (copper gasket, O-ring, etc.).
• The position magnet should not grind on the sensor rod.
• The piston rod drilling (≥ Ø 13 mm / for GB-J and GB-K
sensors: ≥ Ø 16 mm) depends on the pressure and piston
speed.
• Adhere to the information relating to operating pressure.
• Protect the sensor rod against wear.
4.2 Magnet installation
Typical use of magnets
• Rotationally symmetrical magnetic field
Ring magnet
• The magnet can be lifted off
U-magnet
• Height tolerances can be compensated
Temposonics® GB-Series
Brief Instructions
GB-Series with pressure fit flange
Mount the sensor via the fitting flange through the bores
in the sensor electronics housing with 6 machine screws
M6×16 A2-70 (ISO 4762). Note the fastening torque of 6 Nm.
The hydraulic sealing requires the use of a supplied O-ring
15 × 2 mm (GB-J: 17 x 2 mm).
GB-Series with threaded flange
Mount the sensor via the threaded flange M18×1.5-6g or
¾"-16 UNF-3A. Note the fastening torque of 50 Nm.
Notice for sensors with stroke lengths ≥ 1 meter
Support horizontally installed sensors with a stroke length
from 1 meter mechanically at the rod end. Without the use of
a support, rod and position magnet may be damaged. A false
measurement is also possible. Longer rods require evenly
distributed mechanical support over the entire length. Use an
U-magnet for measurement.

Non-magnetic fixing clip
NOTICE
For detailed mounting instructions see operation manual.
Install the magnet using non-magnetic material for mounting
device, screws, spacers etc.. The magnet must not grind on
the sensor rod. Alignment errors are compensated via the
air gap.
• Max. permissible surface pressure: 40 N/mm
• Fastening torque for M4 screws: 1 Nm; use washers,
if necessary
• Minimum distance between position magnet and any
magnetic material has to be 15 mm.
• If no other option exists and magnetic material is used,
observe the specified dimensions.

5. Electrical connection
on the sensor’s electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Hence
correct installation of this active electronic system and the
EMC of the entire system must be ensured by using suitable
metal connectors, shielded cables and grounding. Overvoltages or faulty connections can damage its electronics despite
protection against wrong polarity.
NOTICE
Never connect / disconnect the sensor when voltage is
applied.
Instructions for connection
• Use low-resistant twisted pair and shielded cables and
connect the shield to ground externally via the controller
equipment.
• Keep control and sign leads separate from power cables
and sufficiently far away from motor cables, frequency
inverters, valve lines, relays, etc..
• Use only connectors with metal housing and connect the
shielding to the connector housing.
• Keep the connection surface at both shielding ends as
large as possible.
• Keep all non-shielded leads as short as possible.
• Keep the earth connection as short as possible with a
large cross section. Avoid ground loops.
• With potential differences between machine and electronics
earth connections, no compensating currents are allowed
to flow across the cable shielding.
Recommendation:
Install potential compensating leads with large cross
section, or use cables with separate double shielding,
and connect only one end of the shield.
• Use only stabilized power supplies in compliance with
the specified connecting values.
