Loosen these (3) screws to adjust the gap (0.8mm +/-0.1mm) Linear Scale
If available, first try adjusting the gap (0.8mm +/-0.1mm)
between Renishaw encoder readhead and linear scale by between Renishaw encoder readhead and linear scale. These
screws hold the Encoder Mount to the Carriage (moveable table). Setup LED on Renishaw
these (2) screws only. These screws hold the Renishaw
Slotted through holes allow for large gap adjustements. If available encoder readhead
encoder readhead to the Encoder Mount. If available, use
the orange or blue shims provided by Renishaw. use the orange or blue shims provided by Renishaw.

Note: Cables not shown for clarity. When properly aligned, the setup LED on the Renishaw encoder
readhead should remain GREEN along the entire stroke of travel.
The LED should blind RED for 1 second when passing over the
"home" reference mark.
