Data Matrix Control Codes
Affixing the Code Tape
1.
Clean the surface of any greasy or oily deposits and dust.
2.
Ensure that the surface is dry, clean, and stable.
3.
Pull away a few centimeters of the protective film at the beginning of the code tape. Place the
code tape at the precise point of the required starting position on the surface, and press to
attach.
4.
Then affix the code tape along the desired traverse distance. Please note the following
information:
5.
Remove the protective film gradually so that the code tape does not accidentally adhere to the
surface in an incorrect position. When affixing the code tape, ensure that it does not become
creased or trap air bubbles.
The adhesive on the code tape hardens after 72 hours.

Note
Thermal Expansion of the Code Tape
The affixed code tape corresponds to the heat expansion coefficient of the surface with regard
to its thermal expansion. Keep this in mind when installing expansion joints, for example.
Note
Expansion Joints and Code Tapes
If the system covers longer distances, the plant structure usually contains expansion joints. In
this case, we recommend creating breaks along the code tape. The resulting gap must not
exceed 75 mm.
Note
Inclines and Declines
If you affix the code tape on inclines or declines, cut the code tape several times at the
transition point to the horizontal as shown.
