4.1  Installing the transducer
NOTICE
Improper installation
Improper installation can compromise the function of the 
transducer and result in damage.
 ► For this reason, ensure that no strong electrical or 
magnetic fields are present in the immediate vicinity 
of the transducer.
 ► The recommended spacing for the installation must 
be strictly observed.
Any orientation is permitted. Mount the transducer on a 
level surface of the machine using the provided mounting 
clamps and cylinder-head screws. A sufficient number of 
mounting clamps is supplied.
In order to avoid the development of resonant 
frequencies from vibration loads, we 
recommend arranging the mounting clamps at 
irregular intervals. 
The transducer is electrically isolated from the machine 
with the supplied insulating bushes (see Fig. 3-1).
1.  Guide the transducer into the mounting clamps.
2.  Attach transducer to the base using mounting screws 
(tighten screws in the clamps with max.2Nm).
3.  Insert magnet (accessories).
The micropulse transducer in profile housing is 
suitable both for floating, i.e. non-contacting 
magnets (see Fig. 4-4 to Fig. 4-8), and for 
captive magnets (see Fig. 4-1 to Fig. 4-3).
4.2  Captive magnets
The following must be observed when installing the 
magnet:
–  Avoid lateral forces.
–  Connect the magnet to the machine member with a 
joint rod (see Accessories on page18).
