CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS #1
Differential Line Driver
Encoder signals from 5 VDC to 24 VDC (must specify the voltage when ordering)
This is the preferred type of encoder output as it has the best noise immunity. Connect each encoder signal to its like USB Converter
input (A to A, A/ to A/, etc).

CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS #2
Single Ended Line Driver
Encoder signal from 5 VDC to 24 VDC (must specify the voltage when ordering)
Connect encoder output A to optical isolator module input channel A, B to B and Z to Z. Connect the A/, B/, and Z/ inputs of the USB
Converter to circuit common of the encoder supply. Single ended operation is limited to shorter cable runs and is more susceptible to
noise.

Encoder NPN (sinking) outputs.
Connect encoder output A/ to optical isolator module input A/, B/ to B/ and Z/ to Z/. Connect the A, B, and Z
inputs of the optical isolator to the encoder positive supply. Specify the input logic to the module the same as

Additional Modules and Accessories
ENCODER SIGNAL BROADCASTER MODULE
Accepts standard incremental encoder inputs and can broadcast up to four
encoder signals to four independent devices. Each of the broadcast signals
are optically isolated eliminating ground loops.
POWER SUPPLY
With a wide range of acceptable input voltages (AC and DC) this DIN Rail
mountable power supply is usable in virtually all industrial applications
worldwide. It has built in surge protection to reduce faults due to transients and
it has 100% reserve capacity for startup and overload conditions.
CABLE AND CABLE ASSEMBLIES
Cable reels for your own custom wiring requirements or cable assemblies are
available, using high quality custom BEI standard cable consisting of four, low
capacitance shielded twisted pairs with an overall shield, extra large
conductors for power, and signal ground; all within an abrasion-resistant PVC
jacket.
