All ABS style scales have a “zigzag” pattern etched onto the green
laminate. Take care to not damage this etching or remove the green
coating. There should also be a pattern “break” approximately every
430mm (17in.). Do not attempt to shorten ABS style scales.
Incremental style scales have a repeating “bar” pattern etched onto the
green laminate. Take care not to damage the etched pattern, or remove
the green coating. There should also be a pattern “break” approximately
every 575mm (22.6in.). The Incremental style scales used in ProStop,
ProKit, Measuring Kits, and ProPanel may be shortened if needed. For
more detailed instructions, see the instructions on page 47.
Model 150 scales should be mounted to machinery using the supplied
M5 (or 10-32) machine screw and Connector Link. This Connector Link
is specially designed to flex slightly if there is any mechanical binding in
the readhead-to-scale mounting. The Connector Link should always be
mounted in the same direction as the scale (see the diagram on page
15). Warranty is void if the Connector Link is not used.
Model 250 scales were designed to be mounted on machinery using M4
(or 6-32) Flathead screws. Accurate Technology provides a Guide Clip
to attach the readhead to a moving part of a machine see the diagram on
page 18). Warranty is void if the Guide Clip is not used.
