Mounting Instructions
IMPORTANT: Be sure the mating shaft meets the
tolerance requirements shown in the tables in the
Dimensions section.
Output Waveforms
1. Channel A leads Channel B for clockwise rotation when
viewed from face of the encoder.
2. Complementary signals (A
units with line drivers.
, B, and Z) are supplied only on
IMPORTANT: Be sure mating shaft is chamfered and
grease-free.
1. Loosen the screw on the clamping ring with the 2.5mm
hexagon socket wrench.
2. Slide the encoder onto the mating shaft until the flex mount
rests on the machine surface.
The encoder should slide freely onto the shaft; if not, do
not force. Check the shaft for interferences such as
gouges, burrs, rust or size.
If mounting holes already exist, proceed to Step 6.
3. Hold encoder firmly and mark the four mounting holes.
4. Slide the encoder off. Drill and tap the marked holes to
accept M4 (or equivalent) screws.
5. Slide the encoder back onto the shaft until the flex mount
rests on the machine surface.
6. Attach the encoder with four M4 (or equivalent) screws.
IMPORTANT: Do not stress the flex mount while
tightening the screws.
7. Tighten the clamping ring screw to 1.1 Nm (10 in–lbs).
8. Make the electrical connections according to the table
under Electrical Connections.
IMPORTANT: Wiring must be in accordance with the
National Electric Code and applicable local codes and
ordinances.
3. Marker Pulse is 1/4 cycle and is gated on the positivegoing edge of Channel B for clockwise rotation.
