    Installation Instructions Linear Encoders Attach the scale to the base slide. Reference the preferred datum on the interface drawing for either end or center index orientation. Depending on the mounting method, attach the scale to the slide with adhesive. Refer to pg. 8 for details. Install the sensor on your mounting surface Be sure the grating surface of the scale faces the sensor.

  • Page 7: Encoder System Alignment - Linear

    Installation Instructions Linear Encoders θ Proper sensor alignment may require minor adjustments to the sensor position with respect to the scale. This can be performed easily using the SmartPrecision Alignment Tool as illustrated below. The red, yellow, or green LED will light depending on sensor alignment. Slowly move the sensor by allowing it to slide on the mounting surface until the green LED, is illuminated.
