M11 TO MOTOR INSTALLATION
• Make sure the encoder mounting surface is flat and clean.
• Place the supplied spacer on the motor.
• Set the M11 sensor board on the spacer and secure to the
motor housing using two M2.5 X 0.45 X 8. The recommended
height for the screw head is 1mm. Do not tighten the screws
completely at this time.

• Slide the alignment tool down the motor shaft with the cone
end towards the M11.
• Slightly rotate the M11 encoder as needed and center the
encoder by lightly pushing the alignment tool into the center
hole of the encoder.
• Tighten the screws to secure the encoder to the motor housing.
• Maintain a constant pressure on the alignment tool while
tightening the screws.
• Remove the alignment tool.

• Slide the M11 magnetic target down the shaft.
• Position the air gap shim between the top of the MPS160 ASIC and the
magnet material on the magnetic target.
• Using the supplied 1.5mm hex wrench, tighten the set screw on the
magnetic target to a maximum torque of 0.71nm.
• Remove the air gap shim.

• Place the plastic cover over the M11 and lightly press down
towards the motor until it snaps on the M11 sensor board. Make
sure to properly align the opening on the cover with the M11
connector.
