Aft er mounting is completed, turn the power on again and 
make sure that the indicator (FINE) of interporator is lit in 
green.

Interpolator

Use an MQ10 series interpolator (sold separately). For 
information on supported servo amplifi ers, contact your 
Magnescale Co., Ltd. sales representative.

Note:  Connect a ground wire to the surface on which the interpolator 

will be installed. Failure to make a ground connection may result in 
worsened noise resistance.

Count Direction

When the head unit and scale are installed as shown below, 
head unit movement to the right is the addition direction, and 
to the left  is the subtraction direction.

Cable

*  When using AWG22 twisted-pair cable for the power line and 

AWG24 twisted-pair cable for the signal line, the cable can 
be extended up to 30 m. For information on cable formats, 
contact your Magnescale Co., Ltd. sales representative.

Introduction

Th

  is product is a head unit for detecting the position and 

amount of displacement on a straight line, and used in 
combination with a SQ10 Series scale and an MQ10 Series 
interpolator (sold separately).

Usage Notes

•  Do not place objects that generate strong magnetic fi elds in 

the vicinity of this product. Th

  is could harm the accuracy 

of the scale.

•  Th is product should be used within an ambient temperature 

range of 0 to +50 °C, and should not be exposed to direct 
sunlight or heat sources.

•  During operation, be sure to keep the unit 0.5 m or more 

away from large power relays, high voltage or large current 
switches, or other sources of noise.

•  Wire the head cable and output cable separately from 

power lines.

•  When coupling relays, solenoids, motors or other devices 

to this unit, be sure to take measures to prevent noise.

•  Make sure that the external magnetic fi eld does not exceed 

0.5 mT.

Head Unit Installation Procedure

Preparation

•  First, install the scale. For the installation procedure, refer 

to the instruction manual for the scale.

•  Th

  e M3 tap screws mounted on the head unit have a depth 

of 6 mm. Obtain screws with a suitable length according to 
the thickness of the mounting brackets. Th

 e fi tting length 

of the screws should be 4 to 5 mm.

Installation

1.   Align the unit SmartSCALE marks on the scale and head 

unit so that they are facing the same direction.

2.   Th

  e head unit is inscribed with a center mark that serves 

as a guide to the signal detection position.

 

Install so that the center mark is always within the 
eff ective length.

3.   Set the origin so that the center mark matches up with the 

center of the reference point mark on the scale.

4.   Insert the supplied spacer between the head unit detection 

surface and the scale, and then mount the head unit and 
secure in place using M3 screws.

 

Th

  e tightening torque should be 0.5 to 0.6 N·m.
