Installation
Cleaning Colored Tape/Code Tape
Significant contamination on the colored or code tapes can impair the detection by the read
head. Clean the colored and code tapes with isopropanol if necessary. If the contamination is
severe, you can use a non-corrosive plastic cleaner, e.g., Caramba®.
Note
To avoid polishing the surface, do not apply strong pressure when cleaning. A shiny surface of
the colored or code tapes leads to impairment in detection by the read head.
Basics
The read head detects a colored tape on a floor as a lane. The width of the colored tape must
be between 10 mm and 40 mm; the default width is 18 mm. The zero point is located in the cen-
ter of the colored tape. You can use 3 defined colors. See the section entitled "Colored tape"
The sensor always moves in the X direction. In the sensor's field of view, X indicates an upward
movement.
