8 Installation
8.1 Installation of proximity switches
To avoid faulty switching and external influences, observe the minimum distances
L1 and L2 between the static and moving ferritic masses and proximity switches.

Slots for proximity switches
1. Position the proximity switches in the slots [1].
Use the lower slot for the DGSL-...-4 and DGSL-...-8 products.
2. Temporarily lock the proximity switch.
3. After the test run, mount the proximity switch in the suitable position.
8.2 Rough setting of end positions
1. Position the slide at the desired end position by hand. Leave the slide in the
retracted end position during the setting procedure.
2. Unscrew the retaining screws of the (fixed) stop and the orifice .1 2
–Certain product variants allow coarse adjustment of the front-end position

–A stroke reduction of max. 2 standard strokes is possible in combination
with the precision adjustment.
3. Replace the (fixed) stop with the orifice .1 2
4. Screw in the retaining screws. Observe the tightening torque.

5. Carry out the precision adjustment of the end positions on the cushioning
components.
8.3 Installation of cushioning components
Cushioning components for the DGSL-…-N product must be attached at both end
positions.
