    Suitable for: RKLC20 tape scale (any length) Required parts: Optional parts: Renishaw scale wipes (A-9523-4040) Appropriate length of RKLC20-S scale ('RKLC20-S scale installation drawing', page 5) Scale applicator - side mounted (A-6547-1912) or top mounted (A-6547-1915) Lint-free cloth End clamp kit (A-9523-4015)
  • Page 9 RKLC20-S scale application (continued) Cutting scale If required cut scale to length using guillotine or shears. Using the guillotine Using the shears The guillotine should be held securely in place, using a suitable vice or clamping method. Feed the RKLC20‑S scale through the first apperture on the shears (as shown). Once secured, feed the RKLC20-S scale through the guillotine as shown, and place guillotine press block down onto the scale.
  • Page 10 Remove applicator carefully. Apply firm finger pressure via a clean lint‑free cloth along the length of the scale after application to ensure complete adhesion. Clean the scale using Renishaw scale wipes or a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. Fit end clamps ('End clamps', page NOTE: Scale applicator can be mounted either way round to enable easiest orientation for scale installation.
  • Page 11: End Clamps

    End clamps The end clamp kit is designed to be used with Renishaw RKLC20‑S scale. Alternative, narrow 6 mm wide end clamps (A‑9523‑4111), are also available. NOTE: End clamps can be mounted before or after readhead installation. The end clamp features two small regions of contact adhesive. These will temporarily hold the end Clean ends of scale and the area where end clamps are to be fitted using Renishaw scale wipes clamp in position while the adhesive cures.

    TONiC quick-start guide This section is a quick-start guide to installing a TONiC system. More detailed information on installing the system is contained on page page page 14 page 15 of this installation guide. INSTALLATION Ensure scale, readhead optical window and mounting faces are clean and free from obstructions. If required, ensure reference mark selector magnet is correctly positioned ('RKLC20-S scale installation drawing', page Plug the readhead cable into the Ti / TD interface under the cover plate and reassemble interface.

    System connection Approved ESD precautions must be followed at all times during readhead and interface electrical connections. The readhead is connected to the Disconnecting the readhead Ti/TD interface via a small, rugged connector to allow for easy feed-through during installation. Remove the cover plate on the interface Connecting the readhead (2 x M2.5 hex head screws).

  • Page 16: System Calibration

    System calibration Calibration is an essential operation that completes readhead set-up, with the optimum incremental and reference mark signal settings stored in the readhead’s non-volatile memory. Before system calibration: Clean the scale and readhead optical window (contamination around the reference mark may result in reference mark dephasing). If reinstalling, restore factory defaults ('Restoring factory defaults', page 15).
  • Page 17: Restoring Factory Defaults

    Restoring factory defaults When realigning the readhead, reinstalling the system, or in the case of continued calibration failure, factory defaults should be restored. To restore factory defaults: Switch system off. Press and hold the CAL button whilst switching the system on. The CAL LED on the readhead will flash several times, indicating that the factory defaults have been restored. Release CAL button.
