Mounting tools
- Drill
- Spot face or end mill tool
The spot face tool attaches to a standard electric drill and provides a machined surface that is at least 1.1 times greater than the diameter of the sensor. The spot face tool also drills a pilot hole that can then be tapped for a stud mounted sensor.
You can purchase the spot face tool from Emerson (MHM P/N 88101), or you can substitute a spot face tool with similar characteristics as required. Contact your local sales representative for assistance.
