ProScale Model 18W

The Model 18W can be used in many different measurement applications,
and with numerous types of equipment. Therefore all installations will be a
little different and it is the responsibility of the user to choose the bolts,
screws, or other mounting hardware that provides a quality installation and
optimum operation in their application.
Determine an appropriate mounting location and position for ProScale in your
measuring application. Most installations of the Model 18W will hold the
encoder stationary and allow the scale to pass through the encoder during
measurement. If you choose this installation proceed to Step 1.
However, the ProScale will also operate correctly is the encoder is moved
along the scale during measurements. If you choose this method, proceed
directly to Step 2
Note: Never drill through the colored portion of the scale at any point over
which the encoder will travel.
1. Stationary Encoder installation
Attach one end of the
using the included screw and fasten the other end of
the connector link to the moving part of the measuring
application or machine. Attach the encoder to a fixed
point using three screws or bolts. Insure that the scale
is properly aligned to pass through the encoder with
the direction of motion of the moving part. Be sure
connections are secure or inaccurate readings could
result. Plug the encoder cable into the readout.
