Indicates safety information.

NOTICEBe very careful that the tape scale is not damaged or broken.
If dirt and dust are attached to the tape scale, it causes a malfunction or deteriorates the accuracy.
Wipe off the dirt and dust with a soft cloth soaked in ethanol or cleaning paper. Similarly, clean thetape scale mounting surface of the machine unit thoroughly with ethanol. Even for parts that come incontact with the tape scale, such as scale holders, clean them fully with ethanol.

Indicates supplementary
information.

Tips• Conduct temperature leveling thoroughly for both the tape scale and mounting parts before fixing them. The
accuracy of this product is guaranteed at 20 °C. The recommended temperature leveling is about 8 hours or
longer at 20 °C for both the tape scale and parts for mounting the scale. Perform installation after temperature leveling.
• If the temperature environment is insufficient, including temperature leveling, the predetermined indication
accuracy may not be achieved.
• To prevent any differences in temperature between the tape scale and the machine unit resulting from heatfrom the hands, wear gloves during installation.
• Please note that wiping the tape scale with ethanol after temperature leveling drops the temperature of thewiped area.

1.1

FeaturesThis chapter describes the features of this product, the names and functions of the parts, and the flow of
the main tasks to use this product.

The optical separate type linear scale detects changes in the amount of light using light emitting elements and light receiving elements based on the tape scale grids and outputs the amount of changes.
This can precisely measure moving amounts of various instruments including an aligner, wire bonding,and stage for semiconductor manufacturing.
This product is equipped with the Automatic Signal Adjustment function (EZA function), which is triggered by pushing the button. During the installation of the Detector, you can check the signal strength by
the setup indicator mounted on the connector shell, which eliminates adjustment using an oscilloscope.
By connecting this product to the PC, you can check the signal strength and set the parameters on the
dedicated application program. The I/F circuit built inside the connector shell also allows a space-saving
design.

Mounting the Scale Main Unit

NOTICEBe very careful that the tape scale is not damaged or broken.
If dirt and dust are attached to the tape scale, it causes a malfunction or deteriorates the accuracy.
Wipe off the dirt and dust with a soft cloth soaked in ethanol or cleaning paper. Similarly, clean thetape scale mounting surface of the machine unit thoroughly with ethanol. Even for parts that come incontact with the tape scale, such as scale holders, clean them fully with ethanol.

Tips• Conduct temperature leveling thoroughly for both the tape scale and mounting parts before fixing them. The
accuracy of this product is guaranteed at 20 °C. The recommended temperature leveling is about 8 hours or
longer at 20 °C for both the tape scale and parts for mounting the scale. Perform installation after temperature leveling.
• If the temperature environment is insufficient, including temperature leveling, the predetermined indication
accuracy may not be achieved.
• To prevent any differences in temperature between the tape scale and the machine unit resulting from heatfrom the hands, wear gloves during installation.
• Please note that wiping the tape scale with ethanol after temperature leveling drops the temperature of thewiped area.

Production of Feedback Cable
The following conditions must be met for the feedback cable:• Use a mesh shielded cable.
• Clamp the shield (FG) to the metal case of the supplied connector. If it is difficult to clamp, connect
it to pin No. 15.
• Set the cable impedance and length so that the power voltage is 4.75 V or more on the connector
shell.
Vsp - (Rc ÷ 2) x L x 2 x 0.25 ≧ 4.75 V
Vsp: Power voltage supplied from the control unit (Volts)
Rc: Cable power, ground wire impedance (Ω/m)
L: Cable length (m)0.25: Maximum current consumption of the scale unit (A)To use the sine wave output signals, connect the output signal cable as shown in the figure below.

Shield• When the control unit has the Disconnection Detection function for A-phase/B-phase (PA, PA,
PB, PB), you do not need to connect the ALM output. In this case, use a scale unit with the alarm
output type of H (high impedance) specification.
• If the control unit has no Disconnection Detection function or putting the A-phase/B-phase output
in high impedance causes a problem for the system, connect the ALM output. In this case, use ascale unit with the alarm output type of S (alarm signal) specification.

Alarm Function

4.5.1

Detection Details

When an alarm is detected, the CAL light on the connector shell turns on and off at intervals of 2 seconds. While the CAL light is lit, the setup indicator display light represents the error details as follows.

Tips
When multiple errors occur, all the corresponding lights on the setup indicator turn on.

Error name

Cause

Over range error*1

The waveform of the input sine wave signal is
too large or too small.

Over speed error

The travel speed exceeds the maximum response speed.

Internal processing error

Hardware error(part failure, communication error)

Calibration error

Signal adjustment error- LED deterioration- Sensor overcurrent

LED current error- Insufficient adjustment of the Detector mounting position*1 While the CAL light is not lit, the alarm details about over range are not shown.

Tips• If the scale is within the error range when the waveform of the input sine wave signal is too large or too
small, an over range error occurs.
• If the scale is within the caution range when the waveform of the input sine wave signal is too large or too
small, no alarm occurs, but the accuracy of division is reduced.

Resetting the Alarm■ Turning on the power again
1 Eliminate the cause of the alarm.
2 Turn off the control unit and turn it on again after 10 seconds or more.

■ Alarm reset signal
1 Eliminate the cause of the alarm.
2 Input the alarm reset signal (pulse width of 10 ms or more).
• The alarm can be reset by the alarm reset signal only when the main signal output type is B (twophase square wave + external reset input).
• Connect the alarm reset input circuit so that the current is 3 mA–10 mA.
• Since the product is equipped with a resistor (1.2 kΩ) inside, applying 5 V–12 V between the reset
input AL (anode) and reset input AL (cathode) resets the alarm.
