Readhead mounting/installation
Mounting brackets The bracket must have a flat mounting surface, ensure conformance to the installation tolerances, allow adjustment to the rideheight of the readhead, and be sufficiently stiff to prevent deflection of the readhead during operation. For easier installation, the bracket should be adjusted for roll and yaw with respect to the axis of readhead travel before the scale is applied using the appropriate applicator. This can be done with a clock gauge and a precision square.
Readhead set-up To set nominal rideheight, either the blue or orange readhead spacer should be positioned with the aperture under the optical centre to allow normal LED function during set-up procedure. The orange spacer also helps to position readhead with respect to offset and yaw relative to the scale. The scale, readhead optical window and mounting face should be clean and free from obstructions. NOTE: Ensure readhead fixing screws are tightened to 0.5 Nm-0.7 Nm.
Roll 0 1
Yaw 0 1
When correctly installed, the set-up LED should be GREEN. The readhead should be moved slowly to ensure the set-up LED remains GREEN along the full axis travel. An external set-up signal (X or VX ) is also available on RGH41 readheads for use where the LED is not visible. In this case, 5 V indicates optimum set-up, while a 0 V signal indicates that the set-up should be adjusted.
Limit switch
A limit switch signal is output when the readhead sensor passes over the magnetic actuator. For full output specification refer to RGH41 Data sheet (Part number L-9517-0186).
To ensure unidirectional repeatability, the reference mark requires phasing with the scale in the direction of normal datuming operation. A reference pulse is output in both directions, but repeatability is guaranteed only in the phased direction. The readhead should be set up correctly ensuring a green LED indication over the full length of travel. The reference mark actuator should be installed as shown on the installation drawing. NOTE: It is recommended that a datum procedure is performed as part of any power-up sequence to ensure the correct datum position is recorded. NOTE: Reference mark output is synchronised with the incremental channels, giving unit of resolution pulse width. For further details see RGH41 Data sheet (Part number L-9517-0186).

Phasing procedure
The readhead must be moved over the reference mark in the direction to be used for the datuming operation. The reference mark is phased correctly when the set-up LED flashes red for 0.25 seconds. If it flashes orange or goes blank, the reference mark adjuster screw should be turned anti-clockwise by 1 8 turn and the procedure repeated until a red flash is obtained.

Certain controllers will flag an error when they see different reference mark positions in the forward and reverse directions. BID DIR pins allow the readhead to be configured to ignore the reference pulse output in the unphased direction (see section Reference mark set-up).

Electrical connection
Grounding and shielding
Outer shield
0V
IMPORTANT: The outer shield should be connected to the machine earth (Field Ground). The inner shield should be connected to 0V. Care should be taken to ensure that the inner and outer shields should insulated from each other. If the inner and outer shields are connected together, this will cause a short between 0V and earth, which could cause electrical noise issues.
