Linear Encoder Strip Cleaning
Clean the linear encoder strip monthly, or as necessary, to remove
any buildup of debris. Distilled water or isopropyl alcohol may be
used. You may notice that it tends to fog the encoder strip; however,
no detrimental effect has been observed in the field.
To clean the Encoder Strip:
1.
Disconnect the power cord and interface cable.
2.
Slightly dampen a cotton swab with distilled water or
isopropyl alcohol and wipe along the length of the encoder
strip on both sides.
3.
Reconnect the power cord and interface cable.
