Testing the Scales
Follow these steps to confirm that your scales have been installed proper-
ly. This test will confirm the scale’s electrical operation, and will also
check the installation integrity.
• Locate a magnetic base on the machine and set the dial indicator
on the scale’s reading head casting. Zero the readout and the
indicator.
• Move the axis through the full travel and return the dial to “0.”
The readout should also read 0 (±.0005” for 10µm scales;
±0.0002” for 5µm scales). If it doesn’t, then the scale cable may
be loose, or the scale, mounting bracket, or reading head may
need to be tightened or realigned.
• Repeat these steps for each scale.
