licopter. Temporarily mount the sensor and select
the magnet mounting position.

-Install the sensor to the sensor stay using the accessory screws and wash-

Magnet mounting

(Cooling fan modification)

1

Drill a hole in the fan at the magnet mounting posi-
tion.

Make the hole about 4.1mm in diameter and 1.5 to 1.7mm deep.

2

Embed the magnet in this hole in the direction in
which an output is obtained.

Use epoxy adhesive that cures in 30 minutes or longer.
Do not use epoxies that contain metal such as JB Weld.

If the cooling fan is unbalanced and vibrates, etc., balance it by mounting
the spare magnet to the opposite side of the cooling fan in the opposite
polarity (so that it does not output a signal).
