Verify Sensor Mounting Surface Height
Refer to the OPS interface drawing for detailed dimensions.
Use Z-Height spacer shim to verify that the Z-Height distance between
the bottom surface of the sensor and the top of the scale is as follows:
Tape Scales:
Use red spacer (1.00mm) to set the proper Z-Height for
PurePrecision Marker Tape II and Laser Tape II Scales
Glass Scales:
Use blue spacer (0.83mm) to set the proper Z-Height for
PurePrecision Performance and Value Linear Glass Scales
See step 3 below for installation steps.

Installation Steps
3.2 Place shim between the bottom of the sensor head
and the top of the scale and press down in the Z-axis.
Shim can be inserted either parallel or perpendicular
to the scale. The shim features cut-outs to allow
signal level to be monitored during sensor mounting.
