Once the scale is applied to the mounting surface, and before the blue protective film is removed, it is
recommended that even pressure be applied over the entire tape scale length by sliding a glove or cot
protected finger across the scale. The applied pressure will ensure that the adhesive is evenly and
permanently set.

Peel off the blue protective film.
Start the peeling process using a sharp tool, being careful not to damage the scale. Pull off the remaining blue
protective film.
NOTE:
After removing the blue
protective film, the scale is
ready for use and will
perform to specification.
The encoder will not
function properly with the
blue protective film
installed. It must be
removed for proper encoder
operation.
