ACU-RITE ENC 150 (New Style) - Manual (Page 15)

• Route the cables with slack loops to allow for axis motion.
• Secure excess cable by fastening with clips or ties.
• Attach the linear encoder connectors to the readout.
• Move the axis and compare the display to the movement.
• Move the axis 20mm (.79”) to check reference mark operation. • Zero the display and indicator.
• Move axis to the end of it’s travel return to dial zero.
• Readout should read zero ± 1 count.

Counting Test:
• Configure the readout’s encoder and display resolution (see
manual).
• Move the axis and compare the display to the movement.
• Configure readout for sensing reference marks.
• Move each axis a minimum of 20mm (axis display should zero).
Repeatability Test:
• Locate an indicator on one end of the encoder and zero the readout
and indicator.
• Move the axis through the full travel and return to dial zero.
• Readout should read zero ± 1 count.
