Encoder Installation

The scan frame is composed of the scan beam 4"X10", which is either free standing, or support by existing mill supports and the scan bar 4"X8", which hangs from the scan beam using the provided adjustable brackets. The scan heads and their brackets slide onto and along the scan bar. The placement of the scan frame in relation to the carriage and head blocks is important to ensure the log sits inside the ideal scan window of the scan heads. Check the Cleereman Carriage drawings for the exact positional dimension.

Encoder Installation Steps

Gather all related parts, and the encoder termination box
Ensure your carriage drive drum has a shaft centered on the drum with minimal deviation.
Mount the encoder and provided guard frame on the shaft.
Mount the encoder junction box within reach to terminate the encoder (keep in mind reference switch may or may not terminate in this box as well)
Following provided drawings for termination instructs in the encoder junction box and scanner cabinet
At carriage startup, watch the encoder housing/mounting, excessive deviation can damage the encoder

Note: On shotgun systems, the encoder is mounted on the carriage and uses a third rail wheel. The cable is run across the pantograph
