Installation Instructions

Rotary Encoders - Alignment

If benching dimensions cannot be provided, proper sensor alignment may require minor adjustments to each sensor’s position with respect to the scale. This can be performed easily using the LED alignment indicators, as illustrated below.

For sensor 1, the Sig 1 multicolor LED will turn from red to yellow-orange to green depending on sensor alignment. Slowly move the sensor by allowing it to slide on the mounting surface

5until the Sig 1 multicolor LED turns green. Optimal alignment will be displayed as a “Bright Green” LED. Repeat the last step, using sensor 2 and the Sig 2 multicolor LED, to align sensor 2.

IMPORTANT: Confirm that the Proper Alignment 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 (0.37Nm [3.3 inch-lbs.] maximum torque).

Confirm proper alignment over the full range of motion.

6The “Proper Alignment” LED must remain green over the entire range for both sensors. If not aligned over the entire range of motion, loosen the sensors mounting screws and repeat step 5.

Move the scale past both sensor s so that the index mark passes under both sensors as described in step 7.

7 OUTPUT CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

This procedure must be completed for proper system operation each time the sensors are aligned or if the SmartPrecision electronics module is replaced Position each sensor at least 7mm (1/4”) away from the index mark on the scale. Next, for sensor 1, push the Index/Calibration button inside the module just once. The Power/Calibration indicator for sensor 1, will flash continuously. Move the scale past sensor 1 in both directions so that the index mark passes under sensor 1. When the calibration pro- cedure is complete, the Power/Calibration indicator for sensor 1 stops flashing.

To calibrate sensor 2, push the Index/Calibration button twice. The Power/Calibration indicator for sensor 2 will flash continuously. Move the scale past sensor 2 in both directions so that the index mark passes under sensor 2. When the calibration pro- cedure is complete, the Power/Calibration indicator for sensor 2 stops flashing.
