Safety and operating instructions
Intended use

The encoder is a precision measuring device that is used to record positions and speeds. It provides
measuring values as electronic output signals for the subsequently connected device. It must not be used
for any other purpose. Unless this product is specially labeled, it may not be used for operation in
potentially explosive environments.

Make sure by appropriate safety measures, that in case of error or failure of the encoder, no danger to
persons or damage to the system or operating facilities occurs.
Personnel qualification

Installation and assembly of this product may be performed only by a person qualified in electronics and
precision mechanics.
Maintenance

The encoder is maintenance-free and must not be opened up nor mechanically or electronically modified.
Opening up the encoder can lead to injury.
Disposal

The encoder contains electronic components. At its disposal, local environmental guidelines must be
followed.
Mounting

Solid shaft: Do not connect encoder shaft and drive shaft rigidly. Connect drive and encoder shaft with a
suitable coupling.

Hollow shaft: Open clamping ring completely before mounting the encoder. Foreign objects must be kept
at a sufficient distance from the stator coupling. The stator coupling is not allowed to have any contact to
the encoder or the machine except at the mounting points.
Electrical commissioning

Do not proceed any electrical modifications at the encoder.

Do not proceed any wiring work while encoder is live.

Do not remove or plug on connector whilst under power supply.

Ensure that the entire system is installed in line with EMC/EMI requirements. Operating environment and
wiring have an impact on the electromagnetic compatibility of the encoder. Install encoder and supply
cables separately or far away from sources with high emitted interference (frequency converters,
contactors, etc.).

When working with consumers with high emitted interference provide separate encoder supply voltage.

Completely shield encoder housing and connecting cables.

Connect encoder to protective earth (PE) using shielded cables. The braided shield must be connected to
the cable gland or connector. Ideally, aim at dual connection to protective earth (PE), i.e. housing by
mechanical assembly and cable shield by the downstream devices.
