5.1.2 Sensor Calibration
Perform calibration when installing the sensor for first time, or if the sensor is subsequently
remounted, or the scale is replaced. This section contains instructions for calibrating the
following:

Linear Scales or Rotary Scales used in applications less than <360°

Rotary Scales used in applications less than >360° without Limit Markers
Confirm Settings
Confirm the following before calibration:

Always perform calibration of the left and right limits while Limit Polarity is set to Limits
Normal mode. See the Left and Right Limits Settings in the Calibration and Align tab of
the SmartPrecision II Software in
Section 5.2.3 Sensor Alignment and Calibration .

Select correct Reflective or Non-Reflective Grating Type on Status and Setup tab.
Note: Perform all procedures below at ≤1 meter/second relative motion between the sensor and
the scale.
