Replacing Sensors

Recovering a Sensor

If you are decommissioning the equipment we would recommend

removing the tile sensor from the mounting bracket and just

leaving the bracket. When you install in new equipment we recommend

you use a new empty bracket from your inventory to ensure a

simple clean installation experience following the installation

guide best practices.

Exception: Nitro Machines; you will need to remove the bracket.

We recommend thin stainless steel wire or suggested removal tool,

that you can use to floss the adhesive off. Any remaining adhesive

will roll off the equipment mounting location and the back of the

Mount.

To Replace Adhesive: Clean the surface of the mount with rubbing alcohol and dry completely. We would recommend using new 3M VHB adhesive.

(Ensure you give the new adhesive at least 15 min in ambient

temp to adhere to the mounting bracket before re-installing in

equipment.)

Use a slim flat head screwdriver to gently pry the tile

sensor out. Always start from the bottom center of the sensor

and pry up gently. Sensor should come out of the holder.

Adhesive is not used in the standard mounting bracket as the mount

securely holds the sensor in place if properly installed.

Follow the following instructions below to install the sensor

into the new bracket.

Recommendation: Start from the bottom and slide the sensor

to the top and then press down a few times to ensure it is

properly seated into the new bracket.

Ensure we understand why it has fallen off first to prevent going forward.

If mounting via cable ties then re-secure with new cable ties.

Taking into consideration the root cause of why it fell off initially.

If mounting via VHB we would recommend a new empty mount

be used following the installation guide best practices for the

equipment it is being installed in.

Removing the tile sensor and utilizing a new empty bracket

is our best practice recommendation when moving

sensors to new equipment.
