Q. Ive attached the C-Clamp but the encoder clashes with my rear exit transducer cable?
A. The C-Clamp has two encoder mounting positions on the rear. If the encoder is likely to get in the way of the
transducer cable then it can be moved to the second mounting position and be out of the way.
Q. Can I use the C-Clamp encoder with my instrument?
A. The C-Clamp encoder is compatible with all acquisition units that can record a single axis of encoder data.
Please specify your instrument preference at the point of ordering.
Q. Ive used small wheel encoders before and they tend to slip on the couplant?
A. The encoder has been positioned out of the direct scan path so it runs on a surface that should be free from
couplant and therefore less likely to slip.
Q. I have various acquisition units at my disposal; can I use the C-Clamp with all of them?
A. There are adapters available which allow you to use the C-Clamp with a range of acquisition units; if you let
us know which units you have we can supply the appropriate adapter.
Q. Is it possible to adjust the tension on the encoder spring?
A. Yes, the tension can be adjusted by loosening the thumbscrew on the encoder and rotating the shaft anticlockwise. When you have the desired tension it can be locked back into place by tightening the thumbscrew.
