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

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 .

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.
