Reference Switch Installation

The Reference Switch is mounted along the rub rail near the load end of the carriage track in most system and is used to reference the carriages position in relation to the saw and scanheads. This is critical when trying to align the log data on the carriage, and to track the relative position of the carriage.

1. Sensor needs to see carriage rub rail, within a few inches
2. Sensor should be placed so that its on if the carriage is against the load end bumper and should only go off when moving towards the saw
