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.
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.

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. Clean the tape scale using alcohol or acetone and a lint-free cotton cloth.
NOTE:
Make sure you have on finger cots
or talc-free gloves.
