Installation with Treon Magnetic Glue Adapter for Curved Surface

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Introduction

With the Treon Magnetic Glue Mount Adapter for Curved Surface, the Treon Industrial Node X can be installed on slightly curved or uneven mounting surfaces. The adapter compensates for curvature and allows the node to be correctly positioned and manually oriented before the adhesive cures. The magnet temporarily supports the sensor during curing but is not intended for long‑term retention.

This installation method requires a curved mounting area of at least 33 mm (1.30 in) diameter. Magnetic adapters should not be used when measuring magnetic fields, because the magnet can interfere with the sensor’s magnetometer.

Applies to: Treon Industrial Node X
Adapter: Treon Magnetic Glue Mount Adapter for Curved Surface Use when: The surface is curved or slightly uneven, drilling is not possible, and manual orientation is required.

Requirements

For this installation method you will need:

Treon Industrial Node X.
Treon Magnetic Glue Mount Adapter for Curved Surface.
Slightly curved mounting surface of at least 33 mm (1.30 in) diameter.
Industrial‑grade glue or epoxy suitable for metal bonding.
Cleaning materials (degreaser/isopropyl alcohol, lint‑free wipes).
Note: Magnets must not be used for long‑term retention and are not recommended for magnetic field measurements.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) as per site rules.

Step-by-step installation guide

Step 1: Clean the surface

Clean the mounting surface on the asset thoroughly.

Step 2: Attach adapter to node

Take the Treon Magnetic Glue Mount Adapter for Curved Surface, place it on the Treon Industrial Node X. Carefully screw the adapter on to the node.

Tighten the connection with a spanner size 30mm (inch?) and a torque wrench to xxx Nm.

Step 3: Apply glue to surface

Choose an appropriate glue like the Loctite HY 4090. Follow closely the instructions that come with the glue!

Apply the glue to the mounting area on the asset. The mounting area needs to be a minumum of 33 mm (1.30 in) in diameter.

Step 4: Place node on asset

Place the Treon Industrial Node X in the desired orientation on the area where you applied the glue. Make sure the magnet holds the node in place to secure the glue adhesion. Wait for the glue to dry.

Verification

Confirm axis alignment marks match the intended directions.
Run a quick measurement and validate expected directional sensitivity.

The Treon Industrial Node X is now fully installed!

Troubleshooting

Error: The surface has paint.

If possible, remove all paint from the asset's surface. Make sure to consult the asset manufacturer's manual or contact the manufacturer directly if unsure.

Error: The asset cannot be turned off.

In case the asset cannot be turned off for installation of the Treon Industrial Node X, please proceed with caution and take all safety protocols at the deployment site into account.

Error: Glue does not dry or hold.

Choose an appropriate glue such as the Loctite HY 4090 and follow closely the instructions that come with the glue.

Error: The asset was damaged.

If at any point it seems like the asset was damaged during the installation process, please consult the machine's repair manual or contact the manufacturer for further instructions on how to conduct the repair.
