        *a CORRECT *b INCORRECT
        *c There is No Clearance *d There is Clearance

        Note


        • Wrap masking tape so that there is no clearance between the sensor and tape as shown in the illustration.

        • Wrap the tape so that it has no wrinkles.

        Tech Tips

        To make the tape application easier, lightly fold the tape so that it is roughly the shape of the sensor.
