The device is only allowed to be installed and operated within the permissible temperature range.
Please ensure an adequate ventilation and avoid all direct contact between the device and hot or
aggressive gases and liquids.
Before installation or maintenance, the unit must be disconnected from all voltage-sources. Further
it must be ensured that no danger can arise by touching the disconnected voltage-sources.
Devices which are supplied by AC-voltages must be connected exclusively by switches, respectively
circuit-breakers with the low voltage network. The switch or circuit-breaker must be placed as near
as possible to the device and further indicated as separator.
Incoming as well as outgoing wires and wires for extra low voltages (ELV) must be separated from
dangerous electrical cables (SELV circuits) by using a double resp. increased isolation.
All selected wires and isolations must be conform to the provided voltage- and temperature-ranges.
Further all country- and application-specific standards, which are relevant for structure, form and
quality of the wires, must be ensured. Indications about the permissible wire cross-sections for
wiring are described in the Technical Specifications.
Before first start-up it must be ensured that all connections and wires are firmly seated and secured
in the screw terminals. All (inclusively unused) terminals must be fastened by turning the relevant
screws clockwise up to the stop.
Overvoltages at the connections must be limited to values in accordance to the overvoltage
category II.
For placement, wiring, environmental conditions as well as shielding and earthing/grounding of the
supply lines the general standards of industrial automation industry and the specific shielding
instructions of the manufacturer are valid. Please find all respective hints and rules on
www.motrona.com/download.html --> “[General EMC Rules for Wiring, Screening and Earthing]”.

DC version
AC version
The encoder voltage is approx. 1 V lower than
the power supply voltage at terminal 1 and 2
and should be loaded with max. 250 mA.
The encoder voltage is 24 VDC (± 15%) and
should be loaded with max. 150 mA up to 45
degrees Celsius. At higher temperature the
maximum output current is reduced to 80 mA.
3. Electrical Connections
The terminal screws should be tightened with a slotted screwdriver (blade width 2mm).
3.1. DC Power Supply
The unit accepts DC supply from 18 to 30 V at the terminals 1 and 2. The power consumption
depends on the level of the supply voltage with aprox. 100 mA and the additional current required
at the Auxiliary Voltage Output.
All GND terminals are internally interconnected.
3.2. Auxiliary Voltage Output
Terminal 3 and 4 provide an auxiliary output for supply of sensors and encoders.
The output voltage depends on the power supply.

NPN
Namur
Tri-State
3.3. Incremental Input A, B
The unit provides two inputs at terminal 5 and 7 for HTL signals.
The characteristics of the incremental input (PNP, NPN, Namur or Tri-State) can be set in the
GENERAL MENU.
Wiring of the incremental inputs:
Unconnected PNP inputs are always “LOW” and unconnected NPN inputs are always “HIGH”.
All inputs are designed to receive impulses from electrical impulse sources.
Notice for mechanical switching contacts:
When exceptionally mechanical contacts are used, please connect an external capacitor between
GND (-) and the corresponding input (+). A capacity of 10 µF will reduce the input frequency to
20 Hz and miscounting due to contact bouncing will be eliminated.

release the lock function of the control or relay outputs.
Wiring of the control inputs:
Unconnected control inputs are always “LOW”.
All inputs are designed to receive impulses from an electronic impulse source.
Notice for mechanical switching contacts:
When exceptionally mechanical contacts are used, please connect an external capacitor between
GND (-) and the corresponding input (+). A capacity of 10 µF will reduce the input frequency to
20 Hz and miscounting due to contact bouncing will be eliminated.
