Storage -40 C to +85 C

Operating -10 C to +80 C (cable under non-dynamic conditions: -20 C to +85 C)

Up to 100 % RH

WARNING: The MS15 magnetic scale should not be exposed to magnetic field densities higher than 50 mT on its surface. Magnetic fields higher than 50 mT can damage the scale.

System description
The LM15 encoder system consists of an LM15 readhead on MS15 magnetic scale offering industry standard digital output options. Reference mark The repeatable bi-directional reference signal can be provided in 3 ways. 1. Selected at point of order. The LM15 readhead and MS15 scale should be ordered with required reference mark option. The cover foil if used can be installed over the magnetised reference mark.

Turpentine

Heptane

Benzene Toluene

Alcohol

2. Every 5 mm. The repeatable bidirectional reference signal can be provided every 5 mm. The LM15 readhead should be ordered with this specific mode activated only. 3. Distance coded reference mark. The distance coded reference mark option provides multiple reference marks that are individually spaced according to specific mathematical algorithm. For further information please refer to Distance coded reference mark data sheet (LM10D17).

LED indicator The LM15 set-up LED provides visual feedback of signal strength, error condition, for set-up and diagnostic use. Green indicates good signal strength/set-up Red indicates poor signal strength adjustment required NOTE: IB output type LED flashes red.

Readhead installation
Please refer to the MS magnetic scale installation guide (LM10D02) for installation of magnetic scale. Once the scale is installed the readhead can be easily adjusted on the machine using the set-up LED indicator.

Green LED = good signal strength / set-up

Red LED = poor signal strength adjustment required A, B, A-, B- outputs become high impedance NOTE: IB output type LED flashes red.
