Linear Encoder Strip Cleaning

Clean the linear encoder strip every 75 - 100 plot hours (every 50 plot

hours if GO ink is being used) or as necessary to remove any buildup of

debris. NovaKlean™ followed by isopropyl alcohol should be used. You

may notice that it tends to fog the encoder strip; however, no detrimen-

tal 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 NovaKlean™ and wipe

along the length of the encoder strip on both sides.

3. Slightly dampen a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol and wipe

along the length of the encoder strip on both sides. This is

necessary to remove any possible residue that may have been

left from the NovaKlean™ solution.

4. Reconnect the power cord and interface cable.
