Hookup Test
1. Run RSlogix 5000 software.
2. Double-click on the axis to show the Axis Properties for your linear thruster.
3. Click Hookup tab.
4. Set Test Increment to 60 mm.
5. Click Test Feedback.
Follow prompts to complete the test.
Remove Encoder Scale
1. Remove the scale and stainless steel backer.
2. Clean the scale alignment groove with isopropyl alcohol to remove all of the adhesive
residue.
3. Dry thoroughly.
Install Encoder Scale
1. Place the paper-backed scale into the groove.
2. Mark off a length that is 0.8 mm (0.03 in.) shorter than the encoder scale groove length.
3. Repeat step 2 with the stainless steel backer.
4. Remove the paper backing from the stainless steel backer and place the backer in the
groove.
5. Remove the paper backing from the encoder scale tape and place the scale tape on the
stainless steel backer.
IMPORTANT Lay the stainless steel backer flat to the slider. If the scale is not flat, the encoder scale
will rub on the encoder.
