Installation Manual and Reference Guide

If removed from the mounting surface for any reason, they should not be used for any
kind of reapplication. This will affect the performance and reliability of the encoder
system.
The adhesive on the PurePrecision Tape Scale is permanent:

Do not touch the adhesive once the adhesive backing is removed.

Do not remove the tape scale from the mounting surface once it has been installed.

Do not reinstall the tape scale if it has already been installed once. If the tape scale is
removed and reinstalled again, the encoder performance will be degraded.

Avoid any contamination to the adhesive. Any particulate matter or contamination trapped
between the scale and the mounting surface will affect encoder performance.
