Aligning the Read Head

The read head provides an integrated alignment aid to enable simple, optimal alignment of the
read head relative to the code tape in the Y-coordinate and the Z-coordinate.
Note
The alignment aid can only be activated within 10 minutes of switching on the read head.
You can switch the read head from normal operation to parameterization mode at any time, if
necessary. Press button 1 on the back of the read head and hold for at least 2 seconds to do
so.
Using the Alignment Aid
1.
Press button 1 for longer than 2 seconds.
If the read head has recognized the code tape, LED 2 flashes green. If the read head has
not recognized the code tape, LED 2 flashes red.
2.
Set the optimal distance Z between the read head and the code tape so that the yellow LED 5
and the green LED 2 flash synchronously.
Figure 4.1
Z orientation:
Distance from camera to code tape is too small: Yellow LED 5 lights up.
Distance from camera to code tape too large: Yellow LED 5 goes out.
Distance from camera to code tape within the target range: LED 5 and LED 2 flash simulta-
neously yellow and green.
3.
Align the read head optimally with the code tape in the Y-axis so that the yellow LED 4 and the
green LED 2 flash simultaneously.
