2.4 Adjust the TMR and N52 Positions

The TMR and N52 modules must conform to the fingers while retaining clearance for movement. Adjust them first with your fingers straight, then check them while making a fist.

1. Identify the Installation Areas

With your fingers naturally straight, keep the N52 module over the middle phalanx and the TMR module over the proximal phalanx near the palm.

The modules should align with and remain in contact with the finger.

2. Avoid the Joints and Maintain Clearance

Position the junction between adjacent modules near the finger-joint movement area, but do not place it over the joint.

The first two examples have incorrect spacing or positioning; the third arrangement is correct.

3. Check the N52 Orientation

The triangular arrow on the N52 module should point toward the corresponding fingernail and fingertip.

4. Reattach the Module

If adjustment is required, gently detach the module from the hook-and-loop fastener and reposition it. Once positioned, hold the module down and gently rub it forward, backward, left, and right so that the hook-and-loop fastener fully engages.

5. Check the Alignment on Each Finger

Check the module orientation on each finger. Make sure the modules are not rotated or lifted and that the wires are not taut.

Correct TMR module installation position
Correct: The module conforms to the finger and follows its direction.
Incorrect TMR module installation position
Incorrect: The module is offset or not securely attached.
Comparison of correct and incorrect module alignment
The first three examples are incorrect; the fourth has the correct orientation and position.

6. Slowly Make a Fist

Slowly make a fist and confirm that the modules remain in contact without restricting movement.

7. Straighten Your Fingers and Recheck

Straighten your fingers again and confirm that clearance remains between the modules and that they do not collide.

Expected Result

When all five fingers are straight and when making a fist, the N52 modules are correctly oriented and all modules remain in contact without colliding, lifting, or restricting natural movement.

If the Check Fails

If the modules continue to shift, collide, or lift after you put on the glove again and readjust them, stop using the product. Do not pull the wires, open the modules, or force the modules into a different orientation. Record the affected finger and movement, then contact Support.
