2.2 Open Magnets
When using an open magnet, make sure the rod is positioned at all times within the “active” zone of the
magnet. The transducer cannot operate properly unless the entire stroke of the transducer rod is located
within this zone. The active zone, as shown in Figure 2-7, lies within the inside diameter of the magnet.

2.3 Spring Loading or Tensioning
The transducer rod (flexible or rigid) can be spring loaded or tensioned using a stationary weight. Attach
a spring mechanism or weight to the dead zone of the transducer rod with a clamping device which will
not deform the transducer rod. The maximum weight or spring tension is 5 to 7 lbs.
