Attach the scale to the base slide. Reference the preferred
datum on the interface drawing for either end or center
index orientation.
Depending on the mounting method, attach the scale
to the slide with adhesive. Refer to pg. 12 for details.
Be sure the grating surface of the scale faces the sensor.
Insure that there is no contact between these surfaces or
damage may result.
Be sure the source power is off before
connecting the SmartPrecision Alignment Tool.
Connect the M1500H to the SmartPrecision
Alignment Tool; note that the key and keyway
on the mating connectors must be aligned.
When connecting the M1500H in your motion
system, see p. 13 for grounding and strain
relief recommendations.

To Power Supply
Install the sensor on your mounting surface
referencing the appropriate datum surface as
shown on the interface drawing. Use 2 washers
per mounting screw.
Benching pins may be used to locate the sensor
if the system mechanical tolerances are adequate.
See data sheet for alignment tolerances, or keep
mounting screws loose for sensor alignment if
benching pins are not used.
