Installation Instructions
Linear Encoders
Proper sensor alignment may require minor adjustments to the sensor position with
respect to the scale. This can be performed easily using the SmartPrecision
TM Alignment
Tool as illustrated below.
The red, yellow, or green LED will light depending on sensor alignment. Slowly
move the sensor by allowing it to slide on the mounting surface until the green
LED, is illuminated. Optimal alignment will be displayed as a “Bright Green” LED.
IIM MP PO OR RT TA AN NT T: Confirm that the green LED blinks when passing over the index.
If not, readjust the sensor in the Y direction and repeat the above procedure.
When alignment is completed, tighten the sensor mounting screws.

Confirm green over the full range of motion by sliding
the scale past the sensor. The “green” LED must
remain on over the entire range. If not aligned over the
entire range of motion, loosen the sensor mounting
screws and repeat step 5.

This procedure must be completed for
proper system operation each time the
sensor is aligned.
Push the Calibration button inside the SS-AT
1000 body with a small diameter shaft, such as
a bare cotton swab.
This will set the gain
and offset of the
M1000, producing a
1Vpp output*.
The Power/Calibration
indicator will flash
continuously. Move the
scale past the sensor over a distance of at least
7mm (1/4”). Do not run off the end of the scale.
When the calibration procedure is complete,
the Power/Calibration LED stops flashing.
