Track 'accuator' for signal

First a picture then a question afterwards:

PICT0068

I know how to wire the components (not the way shown in the picture though - I was experimenting) and I understand the use of the sensitivity knob on the accuator (SP???).  My question is on the accuator placement and usage.  I'm guessing that it has to be placed under a track tie - as shown in the picture - or else if the device is placed off to one side or the other of the tie a dead short would result since the device would be touching all 3 rails.  But when I put the device under a tie, the track sits higher than I would like.

Not having directions, I turn to the experts!!!!!  How is it intended to be placed?

I am considering one other option after reading your replies.  I'm thinking I could put it NOT under a tie but rather under just the rails as long as I isolate the center rail from touching it.  I am thinking a piece of electrical tape on the bottom of the middle rail would work.

As always, thanks - walt
