VIONiC RTLC20/

FASTRACK

 installation guide

4

*

Assumes 1 mm gap between scale and end covers and zero gap between 

FASTRACK 

carrier and end covers.   

 Dimension  from 

FASTRACK

 carrier surface.   

 For alternative mechanical datum clamp methods 

see page 6

.

NOTES:

  Minimum recommended 

FASTRACK

 carrier length = 100 mm.     The reference mark selector and limit actuator locations are correct for the readhead orientation shown.

 

External magnetic fields greater than 6 mT, in the vicinity of the readhead, may cause false activation of the limit and reference sensors.
