NOTE
BCB mounting
When processing BCBs, observe the specified processing temperatures.
When processing BCBs in cold storage facilities, the BCB must be affixed before cool-
ing the storage facility. However, if it should be necessary to affix the BCB at temper-
atures outside of the specified processing temperature, assure that the bonding sur-
face as well as the BCB are at the processing temperature.
Avoid dirt deposits on the BCB.
If possible, affix the BCB vertically. If possible, affix the BCB below an overhead cov-
ering.
The BCB must never be continuously cleaned by on-board cleaning devices such as
brushes or sponges. Permanent on-board cleaning devices polish the BCB and give
it a glossy finish. The reading quality deteriorates as a result.
After affixing the BCBs, make certain that there are no polished, high-gloss surfaces
in the scanning beam (e.g., glossy metal at gaps between the individual BCBs), as the
measurement quality of the BPS may be impaired.
Affix the BCBs to a diffusely reflective support, e.g., a painted surface.
Avoid sources of extraneous light and reflections on the BCB.
Ensure that neither strong sources of extraneous light nor reflections of the support on
which the BCB is affixed occur in the vicinity of the BPS scanning beam.
Affix the BCB over expansion joints up to a width of several millimeters.
The BCB must not be interrupted at this location.
Cover protruding screw heads with the BCB.
Ensure that the BCB is affixed without tension.
The BCB is a plastic tape that can be stretched by strong mechanical tension. Exces-
sive mechanical stretching results in lengthening of the tape and distortion of the posi-
tion values.
