metrological device. Handle it with the utmost care at all times.
•
Avoid bending the tape scale to a radius less than
90 mm (3.5 inches)
•
Avoid twisting the Optira tape scale.
•
The Optira tape scale is protected by a blue film on
the top that prevents contamination and damage to
the grating pattern during installation.
•
DO NOT let any sharp object touch the tape scale
after the blue protective film is removed.
•
Once the adhesive on the tape scale is exposed (by
removing the adhesive backing), do not touch the
adhesive or allow any contamination to come into
contact with it.
•
Optira tape scale is designed for one time installation only.
