# Contact Sensor (VS-CS)

{% hint style="danger" %}
The user must read the [product documentation](https://github.com/TWTG-R-D-B-V/neon-product-documentation/blob/main/VS-CS/Installation%20%26%20Use/NEON-CS_User-Manual_VS-XXX-01-CSXX_4001_A5.pdf) before proceeding with the information provided in this section. 
{% endhint %}

The NEON Contact Sensor detects if the magnetic probe is in close proximity to the sensor. This consists of two parts: the sensor and the sensor magnet. 

The sensor can be installed using the mounting holes of the sensor's bracket or using a band clamp. The user can install the sensor using the mounting holes by placing the bracket against a flat and earthed surface and using the screw holes or slots (designed for M6 fasteners) to fix it in place.

The user can also mount the sensor using a band clamp. Please note that in this case the bracket must be earthed as well.&#x20;

Additionally, the sensor magnet can be installed by placing it against a flat surface and using the screw holes or slots (designed for M5 fasteners) to fix it in place. The sensor magnet must be placed at a maximum distance of 25 mm away from the top part of the sensor. Please refer to the following images for reference.&#x20;

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.twtg.io/docs/installation-and-provisioning/installation/contact-sensor-vs-cs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
