IR Head Bracket
IR HEAD BRACKET
To facilitate reading and programming multiple encoders, the IR head bracket is recommended . The bracket is easy to attach
and remove .
Attaching the bracket to an encoder
1 . Open the lid of the encoder .
2 . With the bracket guide pointing to the encoder lid hinge, slide the bracket onto the encoder (
Figure 2 ) so the guide
fits on both sides of the hinge .
Push gently to make sure the bracket guide is completely seated against the encoder lid hinge, and you can see the
IR port through bracket opening as shown in Figure 2 .

3 . Place the optical head of the IR cable in the bracket,
with the nubs on the back seated in the slots of the
bracket . See Figure 3 . This placement facilitates correct
alignment between the IR head and the encoder
IR port .
The encoder is ready for programming .

Removing the bracket from an encoder
When you are finished programming an encoder, remove the bracket .
Hold the encoder with one hand and pull the bracket gently with the other hand, straight off the encoder . The bracket should
