Mounting The Bcb - Leuze electronic BPS 8 Original Operating Instructions

6.1.3

Mounting the BCB

Mount the BCB as follows:
 Check the surface.
It must be flat, free of grease and dust, and be dry.
 Define a reference edge (e.g., metal edge of the busbar).
 Remove the backing and affix the BCB along the reference edge tension free.
 Secure the bar code tape to the mounting surface by pressing down with the palm of
your hand.
When affixing, make certain that the BCB is free of folds and creases and that no air
pockets form.
NOTE
When mounting, do not pull on the BCB!
 The BCB is a plastic tape that can be stretched by strong mechanical tension. The
stretching results in lengthening of the tape and distortion of the position values on the
BCB.
 While the BPS can still perform the position calculation in the event of distortions, the
absolute measurement accuracy is no longer ensured in this case. If the values are
taught using a teach-in process, stretching of the BCB is irrelevant.
If a bar code tape was damaged, e.g., by falling parts, you can download a repair kit for the
BCB from the Internet (see chapter 6.1.4 "BCB repair with repair kit").
Use the bar code tape created with the repair kit only temporarily as an emergency solution.
