2.4 Adjusting 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 extended, keep each N52 module over the middle phalanx and each TMR module over the proximal phalanx near the palm.

TMR and N52 modules after installation — The modules should align with and remain in contact with the fingers.

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 arrangement is correct.

3. Check the N52 Orientation

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

4. Reattach the Modules

When adjustment is needed, gently remove the module from the hook-and-loop fastener and reattach it. Once positioned, hold the module and gently rub it forward, backward, left, and right so that the hook-and-loop fastener is fully secured.

5. Check the Alignment on Each Finger

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

Correct TMR module installation position — Correct: The module conforms to the finger and is aligned with it.

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 verify that the modules remain in contact and do not restrict movement.

7. Straighten Your Fingers and Recheck

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

Expected Result

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

If Adjustment Fails

If the modules continue to shift, collide, or lift after putting the glove on again and readjusting 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.
