Installation Position
• The installation position of the measuring system is arbitrary�
• In order to avoid contamination deposits, a vertical position for the scale tape is recommended�
• The operator of the measuring system is responsible for appropriate design measures to protect
the encoders from contamination�
• In any installation position the scale tape surface and scanning window of the scanning head
should be easily accessible for cleaning� Prevent contamination and foreign elements from having
an influence on the operation!
• Use preferably slots or edges as an installation orientation for straight mounting of the scale tapes,
particularly very long ones�
• For DOUBLEFLEX scale tapes, slots and edges also serve as a stop to prevent any displacement
between the scale tape and the carrier tape�
• The measuring properties of the DOUBLEFLEX scale tape are the result of the adhesive layer
between the scale tape and the carrier tape� Do not displace the scale tape and carrier tape relative
to each other, or separate them from each other!
•
If the DOUBLEFLEX scale tape will be mounted vertically, the fixing point must be located at the
top� Otherwise the scale tape can detach itself from the carrier tape!
• If the DOUBLEFLEX scale tape will be mounted perpendicular, it must be supported and lie on an
edge or a carrier tape�
