OPS-IM Sensor Installation Rev A, issued January 2014

Rev. A1 Changes: updated output frequencies in Appendix A, 01/12/2015

Precautions

Follow standard ESD precautions. Turn power off before connecting the sensor. Do

not touch the electrical pins without static protection such as a grounded wrist strap.

Do not touch the tape/glass scale unless you are wearing talc-free gloves or finger

cots. Please read this installation manual for full instructions.

LASER SAFETY INFORMATION: OPS Series

This product is sold solely for use as a component (or replacement) in an electronic product; therefore it is not required to, and does not comply with, 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 which pertain to complete laser products. The manufacturer of the complete system-level electronic product is responsible for complying with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 and for providing the user with all necessary safety warnings and information.

MicroE encoders contain an infrared laser diode or diodes. Emitted invisible laser radiation levels have been measured to be within the CDRH Class 1 range, which is not considered hazardous; however, to minimize exposure to the diverging beam, the encoder sensor should be installed in its operational configuration in close proximity to the encoder scale before power is applied.

• Invisible laser radiation; wavelength: 850 nm

• Max power 4.8 mW CW

• CAUTION – The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard. DO NOT VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS (MICROSCOPES, EYE LOUPES OR MAGNIFIERS).

• All maintenance procedures such as cleaning must be performed with the MicroE encoder turned off.

• Do not insert any reflective surface into the beam path when the encoder is powered.

• Do not attempt to service the MicroE encoder.

RoHS

OPS models are CE and RoHS compliant.

Recommendations for Power; Installation Considerations

OPS™Sensor Installation

Recommendations for Power

OPS™encoders require a minimum of 4.75VDC continuously. When designing circuits and extension cables, be sure to account for voltage loss over distance and tolerances from the nominal supply voltage so that at least 4.75VDC is available to the OPS encoder under all operating conditions. The input voltage should not exceed 5.25VDC.

Installation Considerations

The OPS encoder is a precision electronic instrument. It has been designed to function in a wide range of applications and environments. To take full advantage of the modular system design, considerations should be made to allow easy access to the sensor for service and/or replacement.

For optimal performance and reliability:

DO follow standard ESD precautions while handling the sensor.

DO allow proper alignment clearance for sensor head alignment.

DO follow setup instructions for the encoder system.

DO, where possible, install the scales in an “upside down” or vertical position to minimize accumulation of dust.

DO consider redundant encoders or additional feedback devices as part of an overall risk management program for medical applications.

DO NOT store sensors in an uncontrolled environment.

DO NOT electrically overstress the sensor (Power supply ripple/noise).

DO NOT intentionally “hot swap” the sensor if the device is energized.

DO NOT use in high contamination applications (dust, oil, excessive humidity, or other airborne contaminants).

Verify Sensor Mounting Surface Height

Refer to the OPS interface drawing for the latest dimensions. Verify that the Z-height distance between the sensor mounting surface datum “A” and the top of the scale is as follows:

Tape Scales:

Z-axis distance from top of tape scale after blue protective film is removed to Datum “A” of sensor: 3.09 mm ±0.15 Z-Height Gauge (Model number ZG-PP1) can be used to verify proper Z-Height for PurePrecision Marker Tape II and Laser Tape II scales

Glass Scales:

Z-axis distance from top of glass scale to Datum “A” of sensor: 2.93 mm ±0.15 Z-Height Gauge (Model Number ZG-GS1) can be used to verify proper Z-Height for PurePrecision Performance and Value Linear Glass Scales

Use the correct gauge to check that there are no gaps between:

1.1 The mounting surface of the gauge and the mounting bracket, or

1.2 The bottom surface of the gauge and the scale. Place the gauge in position and use the mounting screws as guides. If the bottom of the gauge hits the scale, you will see the gap between the gauge bottom mounting surface and your mounting bracket surface.

If you hand tighten the sensor mounting screws, there should be no gap between the tape scale and the bottom of the plastic gauge tool.

Interface Cable Requirements

1. Customer Interface Cable Requirements

Customer cables that interface to OPS™series encoders must have the following characteristics:

• Twisted pair signal wiring.

• Characteristic impedance of 100-120 ohms.

• Sufficient wire gauge to meet the minimum voltage requirement at the encoder, for example 24AWG gauge wire for a 2m length cable. Examples of acceptable cables with 24AWG gauge wire and 4 twisted pairs are Belden 9831, 8104, and 9844 or other manufacturer’s equivalents.

• Single shield cable with a minimum of 90% coverage. Note that a double shielded cable may be required in high-noise applications.

2. Signal Wiring

Each differential signal should be connected to a corresponding twisted pair as follows:

OPS Series

Signal Twisted Pair

A+ Pair 1

A-

B+ Pair 2

B-

Index+ Pair 3

Index-

+5V Pair 4

GND

Left Limit Pair 5

Right Limit

3. Shield Termination:

The customer's cable shield should be in 360° contact with the connector shroud and the connector shell to provide complete shielding. The connector shell should be metal with conductive surfaces. Suggested metal connector shells for use with OPS™ encoders: AMP 748676-1 or equivalent. The shield should be terminated as illustrated in the following diagram.

Jacket

Aluminum Polyester Shied

Braided Shield

Fold braided shield back over jacket. Example shows double-shielded cable. Dimensions shown are for illustration only.

Page 21

Appendix D

RS-422 Compliance

The OPS Series is RS-422 compatible. Encoder signals are “sending end terminated.” Therefore customer receiving terminations are not required. If you elect to use them, the supply current will increase.

Optional RS-422 compliant circuitry for long cable runs in harsh electrical environments is illustrated below.

Appendix E

Troubleshooting

Problem

The Sensor LED indicator won’t turn on.

Solution

• Make sure that the OPS Series electronics’ 15-pin D-sub connector is fully seated and connected.

• Confirm that +5 Volts DC is being applied to the OPS Sensor. Refer to the OPS interface drawing for

proper pinouts.

Problem

Can't get the OPS Series electronics’ "Signal" OPS better than red or yellow; or the green, “ Proper Alignment” indicator doesn't stay illuminated over the full length of the scale.

Solution

• Verify that the sensor is mounted in the correct orientation with reference to the scale and scale

mounting reference edge. Refer to the Interface Drawing.

• Verify that the sensor has been aligned to the scale and that the mounting screws are tight. Check the

dimensions for the mechanical mounting holes (and clamps if any) to make sure that the sensor is correctly located over the scale in the Y and Z dimensions. Refer to the Interface Drawing.

• Check that the scale is firmly mounted and can't jiggle or move in any direction.

• Make sure that the scale is clean over its entire length or circumference.
