Mount accessories
To protect the end positions against uncontrolled excess travel:
Check the necessity of proximity sensors (hardware limit switches).
If proximity sensors are used as limit switches:
Preferably use proximity sensors with normally-closed function.
This protects against excess travel beyond the end position, if the proximity sensor cable is broken.
If proximity switches are used as reference switches:
Use proximity sensors that correspond to the input of the controller being used.
Use proximity sensors with switch lug (è Assembly instructions of the accessory).

Avoid external influences from magnetic or ferritic parts in the vicinity of the proximity sensors (minimum
distance of 10 mm from the slot nuts).
Use groove covers on all unused grooves to prevent contamination (è www.festo.com/catalogue).
Connection option for sealing air
Connect sealing air. For this, remove threaded dowel
(5 è Fig. 14) from drive cover and connect up compressed
air / vacuum extraction. For additional protection, use other
sealing air connections. This is possible on both drive covers
on both sides.
