Mounting aid

Installation

• Position the sliding block on the serrated side of profile rail 1 in the centre slot of profile rail 2.

• To form the mounting bracket, position the profiles at right angles to each other, by engaging the serrations.

• Stabilise the mounting bracket by tightening the cylindrical head screw on the end.

• Place the mounting bracket on the surface of the supporting profile (A) and twist the bracket by its ends (B) until it engages

behind the flanges in the supporting profile.

• Align the mounting bracket.

• Secure the profile rail on the supporting profile by means of the clamping screw (C).

• Insert the two M5 x 18 screws (for VariKont Sensors) or M5 x 42 (for VariKont L Sensors) in the base of the sensor and pre-

mount the sliding blocks.

• Insert the sliding blocks into the two grooves in the profile rail 1.

• Position the sensor as required and clamp it.

Note:

With some applications the installation is easier if the sensor is pre-mounted on the profile section before the mounting bracket is

assembled and mounted on the supporting profile.
