1. Thread the end of the code tape into the top tension
lock (Figure 25).

2. Straighten the code tape. Fasten it with a cable tie
around the tension lock (Figure 26).

3. Cut off the excess code tape. Use a tinsnip which can
cut a minimum of 0.7 mm of stainless steel. Attach
the provided code tape end cover to the end of the
code tape to prevent potential injury (Figure 27).

6.2.4 unroll the code tape
 Mount the top tension lock with the code tape onto the
pit brow. There must be an unobstructed view of the
code on the code tape.
 Carefully uncoil the code tape. Guide it to the bottom
of the elevator.
 Unroll the code tape with a "service ride". Never drop
the code tape. This could damage the code tape and
have potentially dangerous consequences.
 Important: Keep a minimum radius of 500 mm
when uncoiling the code tape (Figure 28).

6.2.5 Attaching the bottom tension lock
Important:
 Make sure to leave enough spare code tape for
mounting the bottom tension lock when cutting the
code tape after reaching the bottom of the elevator
hoistway.
 Make sure the code tape is short enough so that it
never touches the floor with the tension weight under
any environmental conditions (e.g. temperature
change).
 Make sure the code tape has enough operational
range so that it can be accurately read under all
environmental conditions (e.g. temperature change).
