SENC 125 T/E Mounting Preparation SENC 125 T Please follow these preparation guide lines. • Understand your mounting requirements. • Mount with lip seals down and away from the work area. • Brackets should be kept as short and rigid as possible. “L”...
Mounting Information SENC 125 T/E Use this information to plan your Linear Encoder Tolerances ... installation. // .010 A • Mount the linear encoders close to machine guide ways to ensure system accuracy. • If space between the reading head and the mounting surface exceeds .18”, use a mounting bracket or spacer to reduce space.
Mounting Requirements SENC 125 T/E Mounting options can be adapted to machine mounting surfaces SENC 125 E M6 Flat washer x .017” thk. (2) using spacers, standoffs, leveling set screws. A spar can be used for the SENC 125 E encoder. Mounting hole cover (2) •...
SENC 125 T/E Typical Mounting (s) Flush mounting surfaces SENC 125 T A variety of mounting conditions can be accommodated. Mounting • The machine configuration determines the brackets and surfaces flush encoder style required for installation. • Typical mounting conditions are shown; flush with reading head bracket, and SENC 125 E encoder with backup spar.
Encoder Installation Procedure SENC 125 T/E These steps apply to typical encoder mounting conditions and Align top of scale case to Center mounting axis within .015” of -A- assumes the mounting surface is parallel to the machine travel to -A- = Axis travel Scale case within .010”.

SENC 125 T/E Checking the Installation These steps will confirm proper operation of your installation. Repeatability Test The counting Test confirms proper electrical operation. The Repeatability Test checks the installation integrity. Counting Test: • Configure the readout’s encoder and display resolution (see manual).
Electrical Shielding SENC 125 T/E Connect a ground wire from the terminal on the back of the readout to the machine or earth ground. Attach a ground wire from the machine to a solid earth ground. With the encoder attached to the machine and the cable connected to the readout, check shielding by measuring resistance between connector housing and scale unit.
SENC 125 T/E Trouble Shooting If you experience difficulties with your installation, do the following Follow these steps to determine the cause of your system to determine the problem. difficulties: • Confirm that your bracketry and installation does not interfere Checking the Readout with other machine structures through the entire length of the linear encoder travel.
