Final Cleaning, Inspection and Cure Time
Before using the encoder for servo control, clean the tape scale using alcohol or acetone and a lint-free cotton
cloth or swab. Finally, inspect the tape scale's surface for scratches, adhesive spots or smears in the
measuring length.
A cure time of 12 hours is required for the tape scale's pressure sensitive adhesive to achieve the best
performance and reliability.
Reworking to Correct Mistakes
Once installed, the tape scale cannot be moved or removed and reinstalled. Reworking will require removal
and discarding of the old tape and installation of a new one.
