TONiC quick-start guide
This section is a quick-start guide to installing a TONiC system.
More detailed information on installing the system is contained in the
following sections of the Installation guide.
INSTALLATION
Ensure scale, readhead optical window and mounting faces are clean and free from obstructions.
If required, ensure reference mark selector magnet is correctly positioned.
Plug the readhead cable into the Ti/TD interface under the cover plate and reassemble interface.
Connect to receiving electronics and power-up.
Ensure AGC is switched off - the CAL LED on the readhead should be off (if not press and hold the
CAL button on the interface until the CAL LED on the readhead switches off).
Install and align the readhead to maximise signal strength over the full axis of travel as indicated by the
readhead and interface set-up LEDs (readhead - Green; interface - ideally Blue/Purple).
CALIBRATION
Press and release the CAL button on the interface.
The CAL LED on the readhead will be single flashing.
Move the readhead along the scale at slow speed (<100 mm/s),
without passing a reference mark, until the CAL LED starts double flashing.
The system is now calibrated and ready for use.
AGC can now be switched on if required by pressing and holding the CAL button
until the CAL LED on the readhead switches on.
CAL values and AGC status are stored in readhead non-volatile memory at power down.
NOTE: If calibration fails, restore factory defaults by pressing and holding the CAL button
whilst switching on. Then repeat the installation and calibration routine.
No reference mark
If a reference mark is not being used,
the calibration routine should now be exited
by pressing and releasing the CAL button.
The CAL LED will stop flashing.
(Incremental CAL values are automatically stored)
Reference mark
Move the readhead back and forth over the
selected reference mark until the CAL LED
stops flashing and remains ‘off’.
(Incremental and reference mark CAL values
are automatically stored)
*Dynamic bend radius not applicable for UHV cables.

System connection
Approved ESD precautions must be followed at
all times during readhead and interface electrical
connections. The readhead is connected to the
Ti/TD interface via a small, rugged connector to
allow for easy feed-through during installation.
Connecting the readhead
1Remove the cover plate as shown
(2 x M2.5 hex head screws).
2Taking care not to touch the pins, plug the
connector into the socket in the interface,
ensuring correct orientation as shown.
3Refit the cover plate ensuring the cable ferrule is located in the recess on the inside and no wires are trapped under the cover plate.
TONiC RSLM/RELM installation guide
3Place the connector in an anti-static bag.
4Refit the cover plate.
Disconnecting the readhead
1Remove the cover plate on the interface
(2 x M2.5 hex head screws).
2Gently lever the connector PCB
(on the end of the cable) out of
the socket.
Do not pull the cable to remove
the connector.

Readhead mounting and alignment
Mounting brackets
The bracket must have a flat mounting surface and should provide adjustment to enable
conformance to the installation tolerances, allow adjustment to the rideheight of the readhead,
and be sufficiently stiff to prevent deflection or vibration of the readhead during operation.
Readhead set-up
Ensure that the scale, readhead optical window and mounting face are clean and free from
obstructions. To set nominal rideheight, place the Green readhead spacer with the aperture
under the optical centre of the readhead to allow normal LED function during set-up
procedure. Adjust the readhead to maximise the signal strength along the full axis of travel
to achieve a Green set-up LED on the readhead (>70% signal). If a digital Ti/TD interface is
used, aim for a Blue LED on the interface.
NOTE: The readhead should be installed and set-up with the AGC switched off
(CAL LED off). When re-installing, factory defaults should be restored.

Reference mark selector and limit magnet installation
For accuracy and ease of positioning of reference mark selector and limit magnets, the applicator tool (A-9653-0201)
should be used. The magnet should be attached to the applicator tool as shown below.
Limit magnets can be positioned at any user defined location along the scale, but the reference mark selector magnet
(T1010 readhead only) should be positioned adjacent to the chosen IN-TRAC reference mark as shown below.
As the TONiC readhead passes the reference mark selector magnet or limit switch magnet, a force of up to 0.2 N is
generated between the magnet and the concentrators on the readhead. The design of the bracket should be sufficiently
stiff so that it is able to tolerate such force without distorting. Following the clamping instructions on the scale installation
will prevent this magnetic force from disturbing the scale.
NOTE: Reference and limit magnets may creep when influenced by magnetic materials in close proximity.
In such cases, they should be held in place using an additional fillet of
epoxy glue or similar at each end of the magnet assembly.
Limit trigger point
The limit output is nominally asserted when the readhead
limit switch sensor passes the limit magnet leading edge,
but can trigger up to 3 mm before that edge.

TONiC RSLM/RELM installation guide

System calibration
Calibration is an essential operation that completes readhead set-up, with the optimum incremental
and reference mark signal settings stored in the readhead’s non-volatile memory.
Before system calibration:
uClean the scale and readhead optical window (contamination around the reference mark
may result in reference mark dephasing).
uIf re-installing restore factory defaults.
uMaximise the signal strength along full axis of travel.
NOTE: CAL routine maximum speed <100 mm/s (all Ti/TD interface models).
TD interface can be calibrated in either resolution.
Step 1 – Incremental signal calibration
uEnsure Automatic Gain Control is switched off
(CAL LED on readhead is not illuminated) before beginning calibration.
uPress and release the CAL button on the end of the interface using
a 2 mm allen key or similar tool.
WARNING! Activating the CAL switch only requires 2.5 N force.
Applying excess force may permanently damage the switch.
uThe CAL LED will now periodically single-flash to indicate that
it is in incremental signal calibration mode.
uMove the readhead along the axis, ensuring you do not pass
the selected reference mark, until the CAL LED starts
double-flashing, indicating the incremental signal is now
calibrated and the new settings are stored in the
readhead memory.
uThe system is now ready for reference mark phasing.
uFor systems without reference mark, go to ‘Calibration routine - manual exit’
uIf the system does not automatically enter the reference mark phasing stage (no double-flashing of the
CAL LED) the calibration of the incremental signals has failed. After ensuring failure is not due to overspeed
(>100 mm/s), exit the calibration routine, restore factory defaults and check the readhead installation and
system cleanliness before repeating the calibration routine.
Step 2 – Reference mark phasing
uMove the readhead back and forth over the selected reference mark until the CAL LED stops flashing
and remains off. The reference mark is now phased.
uThe system automatically exits the CAL routine and is ready for operation.
uIf the CAL LED continues double-flashing after passing the chosen reference mark many times,
it is not detecting the reference mark. Ensure that the correct readhead configuration is being used.
Readheads can either output all reference marks or only output a reference mark where
a reference selector magnet is fitted.
Calibration routine – manual exit
uTo exit the calibration routine at any stage press the CAL button. The CAL button will then stop flashing.
Restoring factory defaults
When re-installing the system, or in the case of continued calibration failure, factory defaults should be restored.
To restore factory defaults;
uSwitch system off.
uPress and hold the CAL button whilst switching the system on. The CAL LED on the readhead will flash
several times, indicating that the factory defaults have been restored.
12
uRelease CAL button.
uCheck the ‘Readhead mounting/installation’ and re-calibrate the system.
NOTE: System must be re-calibrated after restoring factory defaults.
Switching Automatic Gain Control (AGC) on or off
AGC can be switched on or off via the interface.
uPress and hold the CAL button on the interface for >3 seconds to switch AGC on or off. The CAL LED on
the readhead will be illuminated when AGC is active.
NOTE: The system must be calibrated before switching AGC on.

All Ti/TD interfaces include a push button switch to enable CAL/AGC
features. However, remote operation of the CAL/AGC is possible via
pin 14 of analogue Ti0000 interfaces. For applications where no
interface is used, remote operation of CAL/AGC is essential.

IMPORTANT: The outer shield should be connected to the machine earth (Field Ground). The inner shield
should be connected to 0 V at receiving electronics only. Care should be taken to ensure that the inner and
outer shields are insulated from each other. If the inner and outer shields are connected together, this will
cause a short between 0 V and earth, which could cause electrical noise issues.
NOTE: Maximum cable length between readhead and Ti/TD interface is 10 m
