Load the scale into the scale guide
Remove the splitter screw (see figure 1) from the scale guide body
Separate the backing paper from the first 40mm of scale and feed it into the scale
guide as shown in figure 2
Relocate the splitter screw behind the backing paper as shown in figure 2
Push the scale carefully through to the end of scale mark, ensuring that it does not
stick to the mounting surface until it is in position. NOTE to prevent the scale sticking
to the mounting surface during this operation it may be necessary to re-apply
approximately 20mm of backing paper to the end of the scale before inserting through
scale guide. This can then be removed before to fitting end clamps.
Attach the end of the scale to the mounting surface with light finger pressure
Apply the scale
Traverse the axis through its full travel at a slow, steady speed
While moving the axis
Remove the scale guide
When the axis has reached the limit of its travel, lock the axis in place and unbolt the
scale guide from the readhead mounting bracket
Withdraw the scale guide along the scale whilst applying the remaining scale using
light finger pressure
Ensure complete adhesion of the scale to the mounting surface by applying firm finger
pressure along the full length of the scale from the centre outwards to each end
Fit RGC-F end clamps (refer to RGS-S scale installation guide for details)
