Readhead mounting and alignment
Mounting brackets
The bracket must have a flat mounting surface and should provide adjustment to enable conformance
to the installation tolerances, allow adjustment to the rideheight of the readhead, and be sufficiently
stiff to prevent deflection or vibration of the readhead during operation.
Readhead set-up
Ensure that the scale, readhead optical window and mounting face are clean and free from obstructions.
To set nominal rideheight, place the green spacer with the aperture under the optical centre of the
readhead to allow normal LED function during set-up procedure. Adjust the readhead to maximise the
signal strength along the full axis of travel to achieve a Green set-up LED on the readhead (>70% signal).
If a digital Ti / TD interface is used, aim for a Blue LED on the interface.
NOTE: The readhead should be installed and set-up with the AGC switched off (CAL LED off).
When re-installing factory defaults should be restored
.

*
Alarm output will take the form of 3‑state or line driven E‑ signal depending on interface configuration.
Also, some configurations do not output overspeed alarm. See product nomenclature for details.
- Momentary status only, while fault condition remains.
- Alarm may result in axis position error, re-datum to continue.
