Mounting the Colored Tape and Code Tape

Colored tape
The colored tape must be flexible, conformable, and resistant to abrasion, with a matte finish.
The colored tape must meet the following specifications:
Tape width: 10 mm ... 40 mm

Color of the tape

• Blue = RAL 5015
• Green = RAL 6032
• Red = RAL 3001
Tape thickness > 0.1 mm

The thickness of the tape is irrelevant to read head operation.
Breaking load > 25 N/cm

Breaking elongation > 180%

Adhesive strength > 2 N/cm

Temperature resistance: -20 °C ... 70 °C

Secure the colored tape to the floor such that the following conditions are met:
Data Matrix code tapes for positioning are used instead of the colored tape.

Data Matrix control codes are positioned parallel to the colored tape.

Color Selection
Select the color of the colored tape so that the contrast between the floor color and the color of
the colored tape is as great as possible. Ideally, use the complementary color.
Due to the integrated lighting of the read head, some floor colors appear to be different in the
camera. If you have problems with the color selection of the colored tapes, please consult your
contact at Pepperl+Fuchs.
Mounting the Colored Tape
1. Clean the surface of any greasy or oily deposits and dust.
2. Ensure that the surface is dry, clean, and stable.
3. Please observe the following section "Basics" when mounting the colored tape and, if
necessary, the instructions from the colored tape manufacturer.
Note!
Priority
Data Matrix code tapes and Data Matrix tags have priority over colored tapes or colored lanes.
If the read head detects a Data Matrix code tape or Data Matrix tags in the field of view, colored
tapes or colored lanes in the field of view are ignored.
