3. Safety instructions
Caution!
Please read carefully before starting up the device.
With this encoder, you purchased a precision measuring device. Always adhere to the instructions
and information stated on the data sheet in order to ensure the problem-free operation of the en-
coder and maintain the guarantee. Unless otherwise stated in the data sheet, observe the following:
General information for mechanical installation of the encoder
The encoder must not be disassembled or modified, either in total or in
part.
No subsequent machining should be carried out on the shaft (grinding, saw-
ing, drilling, etc.). This would impair the accuracy of the encoder and damage
the bearings and shaft seals. We will be happy to accommodate your wishes.
Never try to align the encoder using a hammer and never subject the encoder
to impact shocks. Do not subject the encoder shaft to loads (axial or radial)
that are higher than the values given in the data sheet.
Do not rigidly connect the shafts and flanges of the encoder and driving
device. Always use a coupling (between the drive shaft and the encoder shaft,
or between the flange of the hollow shaft encoder and the flange of the drive).
