Installation and commissioning
installation
Select mounting point:
• In order to have sufficient space to apply the adhesive with
a wooden spatula, keep a distance of minimum 35 mm between
the adapter and the edges of the housing.
Level and roughen surface:
• Remove all paint from the mounting surface so that the adapter
can be glued to bare metal (diameter of area > 30 mm). If neces-
sary, level the mounting area.
• To ensure proper adhesion, roughen the surface with a file and
produce a diamond pattern of grooves.
Optional:
Drill hole for securing pin.
• Depth: approx. 5 mm; diameter 3.6 mm.
• The securing pin is mounted on the base and features a self-
cutting thread; it can be removed, if necessary.
Clean the measurement location and mix the adhesive:
• Clean the roughened mounting area and the adhesive base with
a clean cloth and a suitable cleaning agent, such as a brake or
clutch cleaner (residue-free degreasing agent). Allows the metal
surfaces to dry fully.
• Mix the two adhesive components at a ratio of 1:1. After mixing,
the adhesive must be applied within 15 minutes!
Apply adhesive to the surfaces:
• Using a wooden spatula, apply a uniform layer of adhesive
(approx. 1 mm thick) to the base and the mounting area on the
machine.
