Proper sensor alignment may require minor adjustments to the sensor position with
respect to the scale. This can be performed easily using the SmartPrecision 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
