Ensure scale, readhead optical window and mounting faces are clean and free from obstructions.

If required, ensure reference mark selector magnet is correctly positioned.

Plug the readhead cable into the Ti / TD interface under the cover plate and reassemble interface.

Ensure AGC is switched off - the CAL LED on the readhead should be off (if not press and hold the

CAL button on the interface until the CAL LED on the readhead switches off).

Install and align the readhead to maximise signal strength over the full axis travel as indicated by the

readhead and interface set-up LEDs (readhead - Green; interface - ideally Blue / Purple).

Press and release the CAL button on the interface.

The CAL LED on the readhead will be single flashing.

Move the readhead along the scale at slow speed (<100 mm/s),

without passing a reference mark, until the CAL LED starts double flashing.

The system is now calibrated and ready for use. AGC can now be switched on if required by pressing and holding the CAL button until

the CAL LED on the readhead switches on. CAL values and AGC status are stored in readhead non-volatile memory at power down.
