Mount the Guardian II in a location that provides access by the operator
and facilitates wiring by the electrician to the bodymaker control.
From Bodymaker
Control PLC
From Sensor on Domer
(Via Junction Box)
Sensor Junction Box
The safety of any system incorporating the Guardian II
product is the responsibility of the assembler of the system.
Make sure bodymaker is stopped before installing sensor on the bottom former.
Mount the sensor junction box
to allow the sensor to be routed
between the domer and the
Guardian II.

Install the sensor bracket, with Sensor and wire attached, to the bottom
former with two ¼ --28 screws, 0.250” long. Do not torque them yet
because they must be loose to set the sensor gap in the next step below.
Set the distance between the sensor and the Outer Housing flange. Use a 0.025” (0.635
mm) thick feeler gauge to set the gap as accurately as possible. The size of the gap is very
important because the gap directly effects the strength of the signal from the sensor.
The Guardian interprets the strength of the signal to determine value of the over travel.
Once the gap is set, torque both screws to 20 lb.-ft or 27 N·m. Re-check the gap to be
certain that the sensor did not move while the screws were being tightened. The 0.025”
(0.635 mm) gap should be maintained.
