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�
•
The counting direction of the encoders is positive (increasing measuring values) in any
case if the scanning head opposite the scale tape moves in the direction of the cable
outlet�
• 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 tape, particularly very long ones�
When mounting the encoder head, the screw depth in the encoder head
housing must be a minimum of 5.5 mm and a maximum of 7.0 mm.
Please note that otherwise the threaded domes of the housing may be
damaged.
