Installation Instructions

Mount the Device

If a bracket is needed, mount the device onto the bracket.
Mount the device (or the device and the bracket) to the machine or equipment at the desired location. Do not tighten the mounting screws at this time.
CAUTION: This device accepts M4 screws. Engaging the screws more than 4 mm will damage the device.
CAUTION: 8 in·lbf (0.904 Nm) maximum torque
Check the device alignment.
Tighten the mounting screws to secure the device (or the device and the bracket) in the aligned position.

Figure 2. Mounting Holes

Note: Do not remove the housing screws.
Note: Provide adequate dissipation of heat. A good heat conductor, such as aluminum, may be required.
