Warnings
– Do not open the sensor housing.
– Do not pull or loop the measuring wire around unprotected body parts.
– Do not pull out the measuring wire beyond the measuring range listed.
– Do not let the measuring wire snap.
> Risk of injury
– Do not damage the measuring wire.
– Do not oil or grease the measuring wire.
– Do not kink the measuring wire.
– Do not pull the measuring wire diagonally.
– Do not let the measuring wire drag around objects.
– Attach the measuring wire to the measured object while the wire is retracted.
> Damage to or destruction of the sensor
Proper Environment

– Vibration: According to DIN EN 60068-2-6
– Mechanical shock: According to DIN EN 60068-2-27
Sensor Mounting
Use four M6 screws and two slot nuts to mount the sensors.
The slot nuts can be mounted on each sensor side and positioned as desired.
The sensor does not have to be oriented in a special way. Select the installation position in such a way that damage to or contamination of the measuring wire is avoided.
If possible, prefer an installation position in which the measuring wire exits downward. This prevents liquids from entering the measuring wire outlet. Do not let the measuring wire snap! There is no liability for material defects in case of damage due to snapping.

Installing the Encoder
Fix the coupling half to the encoder shaft. Mount the flange on the en- coder (rotary encoder). Mount the encoder/flange assembly on the draw-wire mechanism. Make sure that the measuring wire is always tensioned by the spring motor in order to prevent it from jumping off the cable drum.
Guiding and Attaching the Wire
If the measuring wire must be pulled out of the sensor to guide the wire or attach it to the measured object:
– the sensor must not be held by a second person during that process,
– the measuring wire must not be pulled out beyond the measuring range listed,
– the area around the sensor must be protected against snapping of the measuring wire.
Attach the measuring wire to the measured object using an eyelet. Guide the measuring wire vertically out of the sensor housing.
Diagonal pull is only permitted up to 3 degrees.
If you drag the measuring wire over the insertion hole or other objects, the measuring wire will be damaged and/ or tear.
If the measuring wire cannot be fed vertically out of the housing, it is essential to use a guide pulley, also see Optional Accessories in the Appendix of the Operating Instructions.
Guide the measuring wire in a protected area so that it cannot get caught or otherwise be damaged.
