Installation with Treon Magnetic Glue Adapter for Curved Surface
Introduction
With the Treon Magnetic Glue Mount Adapter for Curved Surface, the Treon Industrial Node X can be installed on slightly curved or uneven mounting surfaces. The adapter compensates for curvature and allows the node to be correctly positioned and manually oriented before the adhesive cures. The magnet temporarily supports the sensor during curing but is not intended for long‑term retention.
This installation method requires a curved mounting area of at least 33 mm (1.30 in) diameter. Magnetic adapters should not be used when measuring magnetic fields, because the magnet can interfere with the sensor’s magnetometer.
Applies to: Treon Industrial Node X
Adapter: Treon Magnetic Glue Mount Adapter for Curved Surface
Use when: The surface is curved or slightly uneven, drilling is not possible, and manual orientation is required.

Requirements
For this installation method you will need:
- Treon Industrial Node X.
- Treon Magnetic Glue Mount Adapter for Curved Surface.
- Slightly curved mounting surface of at least 33 mm (1.30 in) diameter.
- Industrial‑grade glue or epoxy suitable for metal bonding.
- Cleaning materials (degreaser/isopropyl alcohol, lint‑free wipes).
- Personal protective equipment (PPE) as per site rules.
Note: Magnets must not be used for long‑term retention and are not recommended for magnetic field measurements.
Step-by-step installation guide
Step 1: Clean the surface
Clean the mounting surface on the asset thoroughly.
Step 2: Attach adapter to node
Take the Treon Magnetic Glue Mount Adapter for Curved Surface, place it on the Treon Industrial Node X. Carefully screw the adapter on to the node.
Tighten the connection with a spanner size 34 mm and a torque wrench to 20 Nm.
Step 3: Apply glue to surface
Choose an appropriate glue like the Loctite HY 4090. Follow closely the instructions that come with the glue!
Apply the glue to the mounting area on the asset. The mounting area needs to be a minumum of 33 mm (1.30 in) in diameter.
Step 4: Place node on asset
Place the Treon Industrial Node X in the desired orientation on the area where you applied the glue. Make sure the magnet holds the node in place to secure the glue adhesion. Wait for the glue to dry.
Verification
- Confirm axis alignment marks match the intended directions.
- Run a quick measurement and validate expected directional sensitivity.
The Treon Industrial Node X is now fully installed!
Troubleshooting
Error: The surface has paint.
If possible, remove all paint from the asset's surface. Make sure to consult the asset manufacturer's manual or contact the manufacturer directly if unsure.Error: The asset cannot be turned off.
In case the asset cannot be turned off for installation of the Treon Industrial Node X, please proceed with caution and take all safety protocols at the deployment site into account.Error: Glue does not dry or hold.
Choose an appropriate glue such as the Loctite HY 4090 and follow closely the instructions that come with the glue.Error: The asset was damaged.
If at any point it seems like the asset was damaged during the installation process, please consult the machine's repair manual or contact the manufacturer for further instructions on how to conduct the repair.Disclaimer
