Install Tape Scale
When orienting the tape, both tape scale arrows and applicator tool orientation arrows need to
point in the
same direction
for proper orientation.
Note
: The tape scale orientation arrows always point to the
“
D
”
reference edge in the interface
drawing.
Make sure that the applicator tool is free of any particulate contamination.
Step
Action
1.
Orient the applicator tool and tape scale:
•
With the mounting surfaces reference edge away from you, insert the tape scale in
the applicator tool so that arrowheads are pointing towards you as shown. The
arrowheads on the applicator tool should also point towards you.
•
Correct orientation of the applicator tool is shown in the example shown below. The
left end of the tape scale will go into the applicator tool entry channel first.
2.
Optira tape scales have four layers: blue protective film, Inconel (metal) scale,
adhesive, and adhesive backing. The top three layers fit under the roller of the
applicator tool. The bottom adhesive backing is peeled away from the scale before
going under the roller (see Step 4).
3.
Insert the left
end of the tape scale into the applicator tool entry slot. The correct end is
determined by the direction of the orientation arrows on both the tape scale blue
protective film and the applicator tool arrows. Both sets of arrows have to point in the
same direction.
