5. Installation Notes
Use the four fixing holes on the mounting bracket or base and choose the correct installation orientation according to the available equipment space.
During installation, keep the wire rope movement direction aligned with the rope outlet as much as possible. Minimize angle deviation, with a recommended tolerance of about ±3°, to maintain measurement accuracy and wire rope service life.
For vertical long-stroke applications, it is recommended to install the sensor body at the lower position and pull the wire rope upward.
The wire rope is made of stainless steel. Avoid external cuts, welding sparks, impacts, excessive dust, debris buildup, and corrosive environments.
Before the sensor is fixed on the workbench or base, do not pull out the wire rope by hand or other objects and allow it to retract suddenly, as this may damage the rope, the sensor body, or cause injury.
For non-linear motion applications, use a suitable pulley or guide mechanism to convert the movement into linear travel.
The operating speed should remain within the recommended limit to avoid reducing reliability and service life.
