3. Determination of the rail and tape length
Basically the following applies with an order of magnetic tape:
Ordered length of tape = effective measuring di 100 mm
For further details see the „Type designation“ at the end of the manual.
3.1 Complete assembled guide rail
(for effective measuring distances up to 1.885 m)
With measuring distances < 2 m (effective 1.885 m), the guide rail is already factory-assembled
with the magnetic tape. The side of the zero point is provided with a 4.2 mm mounting hole. For
this further 15 mm must be added.
The total length of the rail is calculated as follows:
Rail length = Ordering length of magnetic tape + 15 mm
3.2 Guide rail and Magnetic tape - Self assembling
(for effective measuring distances > 1.885 m)
If distances > 1,885 meters must be measured, the guide rail is multipart supplied, since for
transport-technical reasons only a maximum length of 2 m are possible. The single rail parts still
have no mounting holes. These must done by the user and also be fastened align at a suitable
place then.
The magnetic tape must be inserted after arraying the rail parts into the slot of the rails and stuck
together with the special sticky tape, attached at the magnetic tape. Subsequently for protection,
a cover band must be stuck together with the magnetic tape.
Included in delivery:
•
Magnetic tape, sticky tape and cover band (order-related length)
•
Aluminium profile rail parts (total length = ordered tape 15 mm)
Mounting:
1. Align and fasten the rail parts at the measuring place
2. Insert the magnetic tape into the rail slots
3. Detect the measuring direction (see chapter 5.1.1)
4. Stick the tape into the guide rail slot
5.
Stick the cover band for protection
