SPECIFICATION: RW 2530 THIS ISSUE: ISSUE 2 DATE: February 2014 SPEIFICATION RW-2530 Document No. 108-121029 TMS 90 SCE Marker TMS 90 SCE Markers are for use in permanent marking applications up to 135C, and are especially designed for applications in which flexibility and flame retardancy are important criteria. 1. SCOPE This specification covers the requirements and performance of the TMS 90 SCE Marker System. This system is an automatic method of identifying wire and cable by printing a mark on Tyco Electronics TMS 90 SCE Markers. The mark is permanent upon printing. The product is specifically designed for thermal transfer printing and laser marking. 1.1 CLASSIFICATION 1.1.1 Markers The markers shall be fabricated from modified radiation cross linked polymer tubing, flattened and mounted on a carrier. All TMS 90 SCE markers covered by this specification shall meet the performance requirements of AMS-DTL-23053/5 Class 1 and Class 3. 1.1.2 System Equipment The recommended Printer Ribbon Systems for use with TMS 90 SCE are shown in the latest version of document 411-121005 Identification Printer Product Ribbon Matrix. System performance is evaluated in this specification. Compliance to this specification can only be guaranteed if Tyco Electronics approved printers and ribbons are used. TMS 90 SCE markers are intended for printing with thermal transfer printers.
