2.4 Adjust the TMR and N52 Positions

The TMR and N52 modules must fit closely against the fingers while allowing clearance for movement. Adjust them first with the fingers straight, then check their positions while making a fist.

1. Identify the Mounting Areas

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

TMR and N52 modules after installation — The modules should align with and fit closely against the finger.

2. Avoid the Joints and Maintain Clearance

Position the junction between adjacent modules near the finger joint's range of motion, but do not place it over the joint.

Comparison of correct and incorrect spacing between the TMR and N52 modules — The first two examples show incorrect spacing or positioning; the third shows the correct arrangement.

3. Check the N52 Orientation

The triangular arrow on the N52 module must point toward the nail and fingertip of the corresponding finger.

4. Reattach the Module

If adjustment is required, gently remove the module from the hook-and-loop fastener and reposition it. Once the position is correct, hold the module down and gently rub it forward, backward, and side to side so that the hook-and-loop fastener engages fully.

5. Check the Alignment on Each Finger

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

Correct TMR module mounting position — Correct: The module fits closely against the finger and aligns with it.

Incorrect TMR module mounting position — Incorrect: The module is offset or is not securely attached.

Comparison of correct and incorrect module alignment — The first three examples are incorrect; the fourth shows the correct orientation and position.

6. Slowly Make a Fist

Slowly make a fist and confirm that the modules remain in contact and do not obstruct the movement.

7. Straighten the Fingers and Recheck

Straighten the fingers again and confirm that there is still clearance between the modules and that they do not collide.

Expected Result

When all five fingers are straight and when making a fist, each N52 module is correctly oriented, all modules remain securely attached, and no module collides, lifts, or restricts natural movement.

If Adjustment Fails

If the modules continue to shift, collide, or lift after you put the glove on again and readjust them, stop using the glove. 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.
