Pre-Installation Information and Precautions
Read all instructions completely before beginning the
installation process.
The PurePrecision ™ Tape 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 PurePrecision Tape Scale.
Do not let any sharp object touch the tape scale after the blue
protective film is removed.
The PurePrecision Tape 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.
PurePrecision Tape Scale, Index and Limit Markers are
designed for one time installation only.
If removed from the mounting surface for any reason, they
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 PurePrecision ™ Tape 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 PurePrecision Tape Scale
on a curved (cylindrical) surface.
