Further tightening of the sensor band screws is made while using the
sensor band spacer gauge (shown below) furnished with the sensor
band. The spacer gauge is used to set the compression on the
Belleville washers referred to above. Refer to Table 4 for proper
spacer gauge selection.

Sensor Band Spacer Gauge

Using the sensor band screw tightening sequence shown in Figure 8,
insert the sensor band spacer gauge over the Belleville washers on
the middle sensor screw assembly and tighten it such that it is snug
but the spacer gauge can still be removed. The following figure
illustrates use of the sensor band screw spacer gauge.

Note:

Ensure the spacer tool is perpendicular to the attachment rail to

ensure proper tightness. Remove the tool, move to the next sensor
screw, and repeat the tightening on each of the sensor screws.

Important:

Tighten each screw once only. Do not retighten each

screw using the gauge.
