WARNING!! • Do not rotate shaft beyond full range!

WARNING!! • Do not apply excessive loads to shaft!

MECHANICAL

1. Note mechanical limitations of shaft rotations. Ro-

tate shaft to full counter-clockwise position. Note
zero reference marks on shaft and housing. ZERO REFERENCE ALIGNMENT MARK

2. Mount transducer via the 4 threaded mounting
