Stationary Scale installation

If your application is better suited for the scale to be held stationary and

the encoder moved along it during a measurement, you

should use the

move it along the scale (see illustration).

Attach the scale to a fixed point in your application

using the included screw. Place the encoder on the

scale. Attach the guide clip to a moving point in your

application such that the slot on the underside of the

clip engages the post on the top of the encoder and

captures it's movement along the scale. The guide clip

should exert some pressure on the encoder over the

full range of travel as the two move as a single unit.

Insure the scale and encoder are properly aligned as the encoder is

moved (the guide clip will compensate for slight misalignment in the

direction perpendicular to movement).
