The actuator should always be placed perpendicular to the sensor surface in the centre of the active area. Avoid offset mounting. Ensure that the actuator is smaller than the active area of the sensor. If this is not feasible, use a soft activator for force transmission and distribution like, e.g., a soft rubber with hardness 25 Shore A. Do not expose the sensor to permanent load to avoid possible signal drift. Never bend the sensor in the active area to avoid mechanical pre-load and false signals. Do not bend the connection tail to a radius < 8 mm to avoid broken conductor lines. All sensors feature an air vent. Take care not to block it and to avoid liquids from penetrating through it.
