Linear Encoder Strip Cleaning

Clean the linear encoder strip weekly or as necessary to remove any buildup of debris. Distilled water or isopropyl alcohol may be used. You may notice that it tends to fog the encoder strip; however, no detrimental effect has been observed in the field.

To clean the Encoder Strip:

1.Disconnect the power cord and interface cable.

2.Slightly dampen a cotton swab with distilled water and wipe along the length of the encoder strip on both sides. Do not use denatured alcohol, MEK, acetone or keytone substances on the encoder strip as this is known to have caused damage to the encoder strip.

3.Reconnect the power cord and interface cable.
