NOTES:

 

X

Datum clamp usually coincident with selected 

IN-TRAC  

reference mark. However the 

position is user-selectable depending upon 
application.

 

X

For lengths 80 

≤ 

≤ 

190 ensure scale is 

clamped or clipped in the middle as well as at 
both ends. 

 

X

For optimum performance the readhead should 
be installed close to nominal geometry.

 

X

Care should be taken to ensure sufficient 

clearance between the readhead/mounting 
bracket and clips/datum clamp.

 

X

Only special low‑profile screws should be 

used. Screws are provided with all clips/datum 
clamps and spares can be supplied if required.

*

 Clips omitted for clarity. Reference marks 

positioned equidistant from scale ends.
