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.
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.
8 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 plug.
Connect the SmartPrecision electronics to
the controller using the pinout diagram
described on the interface drawing.
Insure proper system grounding. Refer to the
procedure on pg 9.
Tighten the thumb screws.
Power up the system. The Power/Calibration
indicator will illuminate.

CAUTION: observe precautions for handling
electrostatic sensitive devices.
Route the sensor cable through your equipment
to the SmartPrecision electronics.
A) Remove the three cover screws and the top
half of the connector housing. Do not pull on
the 15-pin D-sub connector or the circuit
board under the insulation layer.
B) Attach the sensor's 5 X 2 connector to the
mating 5 X 2 connector on the circuit board.
C) Route the sensor cable through its channel
in the center of the connector body and place
the cable's hex sleeve in the matching recess.
Attach the top half of the connector housing
to the bottom half using the three cover screws.
