Installing the code strip
The code strip is made of silicone-free polyester film. A position mark is printed every
100 mm along the lower edge of the code strip (see "Dimensions, code strip"). The
position marks are used, among others, for the precise positioning of the code strip
during assembly. The reverse side of the code strip carries a permanent modified acry-
late-based adhesive. Affix the self-adhesive code strip along the required travel range.
Proceed as follows:
1. Clean the surface to remove any greasy or oily deposits and dust.
2. Ensure that the surface is dry, clean, and stable.
3. Pull the protective foil at the beginning of the code strip a few centimeters forward.
Place the code strip exactly at the required starting position on the underside, and
press to attach it.
4. Affix the self-adhesive code strip along the required travel range. Remove the
protective film gradually to prevent the code strip from adhering to the surface at an
incorrect position. When affixing the code strip, ensure that the code strip does not
crease or trap air bubbles.
The adhesive on the code strip hardens after 72 hours.
The following figure shows the dimensions of the code strip.
All dimensions in mm (in).
