System connection

Readhead only
(no interface)
The ATOM readhead is available in several variants:
• Cable variant with a 15 way D-type connector
• Cable variant with interboard connector
• FPC variant
None of these readhead variants has an integral calibration (CAL) button. Provision should be made
in the customers' electronics for momentarily connecting the CAL line to 0 V to initiate the calibration
routine, switch AGC on /off or restore factory defaults. See page
Calibration is an essential part of system set-up that optimises the incremental signals and phases the
reference mark. See page 34 for information on the calibration routine.

For cable variant with interboard connector
• Ensure that the interboard connector is inserted into the connector on the customers' electronics
NOTE: Care should be taken to ensure correct orientation
• Use a metal clamp around the cable ferrule to ground the readhead cable and ensure
continuity of the shields
• Provide appropriate strain relief
• Ensure suitable clamping to retain interboard connector to the mating connector
