Marking the measuring point
In the ideal case, an empty ball point pen cartridge is recommended for
marking the installation point. The length of the marking line should be
approx. 60 mm in the measurement direction. A vertical marking line, approx.
40 mm long, must be drawn starting at the center of the installation point, see
Fig. 2.1.

Once the area is marked out, the installation point must be cleaned very
thoroughly, see Fig. 2.2. Please note that a new cleaning pad must be used
each time the point is wiped. The cleaning process is complete when no
residues can be recognized on the cleaning pad.
