ProScale Model 250
ProScale Model 250 systems are general purpose absolute measuring
systems designed for taking measurements up 6.0m (236in.).
ProScale is easy to install. By following the basics of good installation in
this section, reliable, error-free operation is assured. Because ProScale
can be installed on many different types and brands of equipment, all
installations will be a little different. Therefore, it's the responsibility of
the installer to choose the bolts, screws, or other mounting hardware that
guarantee proper installation for optimum operation.
Note: If a kit was ordered which contains instructions for installing
ProScale onto a specific product, follow those instructions rather
than the general instructions here.
Mounting:
1. Note the orientation of the readhead on the scale. Be
sure the arrow on the readhead points towards the
“BLACK END OF SCALE”. This orientation is
critical for proper operation of ProScale. Check to be
sure the mounting location for the system will allow
this orientation.
2. Determine an appropriate mounting location for
the system. The scale should be mounted to a
stationary part of the machine. The readhead
slides along the scale, using the supplied guide clip to translate
machine movement to readhead movement. The Display should be
mounted in a location which allows for easy viewing by the machine
operator. The location of the parts should also safeguard the cable
from possible damage. All ProScale wiring should be kept as far
away as possible from the machine’s wiring and motors. Avoid
running the readhead wiring parallel to high voltage/current wiring or
dust collection systems.
