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.

8 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 SmartSignal plug.

Connect the SmartSignal electronics to the

controller using the pinout diagram

described on the interface drawing.

Insure proper system grounding. Refer to the

procedure on pg 9.

Tighten the thumb screws.

Power up the system. The Power/Calibration

indicator will illuminate.

CAUTION: observe precautions for handling

electrostatic sensitive devices.

Route the sensor cable through your equipment

to the SmartSignal electronics.

A) Remove the three cover screws and the top

half of the connector housing. Do not pull on

the 15-pin D-sub connector or the circuit

board under the insulation layer.

B) Attach the sensor's 5 X 2 connector to the

mating 5 X 2 connector on the circuit board.

C) Route the sensor cable through its channel

in the center of the connector body and place

the cable's hex sleeve in the matching recess.

Attach the top half of the connector housing

to the bottom half using the three cover screws.

The longest screw is used in the hole adjacent

to the cable exit.

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.
