This section is a quick-start guide to installing a TONiC FS system. More detailed information on installing the system is contained on page
INSTALLATION
Ensure the scale, readhead optical window and mounting faces
are clean and free from obstructions.
If required, ensure reference mark selector magnet is correctly positioned
(see 'RTLC20-S scale installation drawing'
Plug the readhead cable into the Ti/ DOP interface under the cover plate and reassemble
the interface (see 'System connection - Ti interface'
interface' on page 36). Connect to the receiving electronics and power-up.
Ensure that Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is switched off; the CAL LED on the readhead should
be off (if not, press and hold the CAL button on the interface until the CAL LED on the readhead
switches off).
Install and align the readhead to maximise signal strength over the full axis of travel
as indicated by the readhead and interface set-up LEDs
(readhead – green; DOP interface – ideally blue/purple).

CALIBRATION
Press and release the CAL button on the interface.
The CAL LED on the readhead will be single flashing.
Move the readhead at slow speed (< 100 mm/s), without passing a reference mark,
until the CAL LED starts double-flashing.

No reference mark
If a reference mark is not being used,
the calibration routine should now be exited
by pressing and releasing the CAL button.
The CAL LED will stop flashing.
The system is now calibrated and ready for use.
For the safety function to be valid, customer commissioning tests must be performed:
see 'Commissioning test'
AGC can now be switched on if required by pressing and holding the CAL button until the CAL
LED on the readhead switches on.
Calibration (CAL) values and AGC status are stored in readhead non-volatile
memory at power down.
NOTE: If calibration fails, restore factory defaults (see
Then repeat the installation and calibration routine.
