Operation with repair tape
Startup
The code cards
"CANCEL", "USE"
and "DEFAULT"
Holding one of these cards in front of the read head exits parameter setting mode with
the following consequences:
•
CANCEL
Any parameter changes you made but have not saved will be discarded. The read
head continues to operate with the last valid parameters that were saved.
•
USE
For test purposes, the read head continues to operate with the parameters you have
just changed. These parameters are not saved, however. Switching the read head
off and on again has it operate with the last valid parameters that were saved.
•
DEFAULT
All parameters in the read head are overwritten with the original default settings. This
reset is saved in the non-volatile memory of the read head.
5.3
Operation with repair tape
The repair tape is a short code strip with a length of 1 meter. It is used to bridge defective
or damaged areas of an existing code strip.
1. Cut the repair tape to the required length.
2. Cover the defective area of the code strip with the repair tape.
If repair is required, you can use the code strip generator at
as interim solution. The code strip generator lets you generate code
strip segments online, which you can print out.
To do so, enter the start value in meters and the code strip length of the segment to be
replaced in meters. The generator then creates a printable pdf file with the required code
strip segment.
Use the printout only as temporary solution. The durability of the paper strip is very lim-
ited depending on the application. Immediately order a new code strip of the required
length. For placing the order, use the order designation as given in chapter "Code strips
with different starting positions".
INFORMATION
When adhering the repair tape to the code strip, make sure that the repair tape con-
tinues the grid of the code strip as accurately as possible.
