Attach the scale to the base slide. Reference the preferred
datum on the interface drawing for either end or center
index orientation.
Depending on the mounting method, attach the scale
to the slide with adhesive. Refer to pg. 12 for details.
Be sure the grating surface of the scale faces the sensor.
Insure that there is no contact between these surfaces or
damage may result.
Be sure the source power is off before
connecting the SmartPrecision
TM II Alignment Tool.
Connect the M1500V to the SmartPrecision II
Alignment Tool. (The M1500V-AC Atmospheric
Cable shown in the illustration above is optional.
A customer-supplied cable may be used.)

Connect the Alignment Tool to the
Computer Interface Adapter. Turn on
the power.
Install the sensor on your mounting surface
referencing the appropriate datum surface as
shown on the interface drawing. Use 2 washers
per mounting screw.
Benching pins may be used to locate the sensor
if the system mechanical tolerances are adequate.
See data sheet for alignment tolerances, or keep
mounting screws loose for sensor alignment if
benching pins are not used.
