1. Connections must be completed by only authorized personnel.
2. Consider the warnings when completing the connections and using the scale.
3. Pay attention about the sensors power supply. (For TTL sensor max. 5V, for Push-Pull sensor
max. 30V). Don’t energize the scale before all connections completed.
4. Distance between sensor and control unit must be short as possible.
5. Be away the sensor cable from high power cables, contactor, engine, or inductive and
capacitive noise sources.
6. The screen cable must be connected to the earth line.
7. The magnetic tape must be away from magnetic areas.
8. Don’t make any connection when the scale energized.
9. Please call the service for any problem about the scale.

KK-MLC.008 26.02.2020 Rev No:1
The large forces required in metal forming operations can provoke machine deformation which in turn puts strain on
the linear encoder. This strain will affect the performance of the linear encoder and may lead to a reduction of
accuracy or repeatability in the forming operation. In order to solve this problem is designed the MLC 410
incremental linear encoder, especially for press brake applications.
Especially it is recommended for applications with a measuring length of up to 2040 mm in high speed and high
vibration environments and small places. The special design of the mounting points minimizes curacy errors due to
temperature changes. On the other hand, the MLC 410 series includes a special support that further improves it
behavior against the vibrations caused by the machine.
The reader head of this linear encoder has a connector. The linear encoder is supplied as a pre assembled unit. The
linear encoder and reader sensor are connected to the aluminum support and it can be connected directly to the
machine.

In the following table the cable colors of
sensors output signals are given. If the control
circuit is suitable in the Line Driver sensors of
the not output signals (/A, /B, /Z) have to be
added to the system. If it is not suitable /A, /B,
/Z signal cables must be fixed as insulated
separately. Don’t forget that these edges have
electricity too.
Never make or undo electrical connections to the
encoder when voltage is applied, otherwise this
may result in damage to devices.

The proper installation of MLC 410 is very important issue in terms of the system work properly. The proper
installation is shown down. Up surface of the sensor must be down for negative factors. Reader sensor and profile
must be parallel for all the stroke. Comparator must be used when installing the scale.
