Pre-Installation Information and Precautions
Read all instructions completely before beginning the
installation process.
The CET™ Scale is a precision metrological device. Handle it with the
utmost care at all times.
Avoid bending the tape scale to a radius less than 90mm (3.5
inches)
Avoid twisting the CET Scale.
Do not let any sharp object touch the tape scale after the blue
protective film is removed.
The CET Scale is protected by a blue film on the top that
prevents contamination and damage to the grating pattern
during installation.
Once the adhesive on the tape scale is exposed (by removing
the adhesive liner), do not touch the adhesive or allow any
contamination to come into contact with it.
CET Scale is designed for one time installation only.
If removed from the mounting surface for any reason, it should
not be used for any kind of reapplication. This will affect the
performance and reliability of the encoder system.
Minimum
storage radius
90mm (3.5 inches)
The adhesive on the CET Scale is permanent.
Do not touch the adhesive once the adhesive liner is removed.
Do not remove the tape scale from the mounting surface once it has been installed.
Do not reinstall the tape scale if it has already been installed once.
Avoid any contamination to the adhesive. Any particulate matter or other contamination that
is trapped between the scale and the mounting surface will affect encoder performance.
NOTE:
MicroE does not recommend installing CET Scale on a curved
(cylindrical) surface.
