4.1 Mounting

There are a few critical elements to consider when mounting the Ring Sensor:

 The mounting surface should be free of any raised features (e.g. copper traces on a PCB

or dust contamination) as they will interfere with the sensor’s proper operation.

 If the sensor is being mounted to a PCB, it should be installed after PCB assembly is

complete. Heat generated during the soldering of components can damage the Ring
Sensor.

 When laminating the sensor, be sure to use a hard roller or other depression tool to ensure

proper bonding of the sensor’s pressure-sensitive adhesive and the removal of any air
bubbles.
