capacitance, outer sheath insulated. Shrink tubing may be placed over any wires without insulation. For lengths over 100 feet, 

use 18 gage or larger, to a maximum of 1000 feet. If shielded twisted pair wire is used, do not cross channels. Keep each pair 

of complementary channel outputs together in a single twisted pair (e.g., A and A complement).   

 

CAUTION!

 

 

Reversing power and common will not damage the unit.  H owever, applying power to 

any of the sensor outputs may cause damage.

NOTE 

The shield in the sensor module is isolated from the frame of the encoder. For maximum 

noise immunity, the shield wire or pin should be connected to the shield of the cable and 

that of the drive or other receiving device. 

 

2.3.1  Quick Release Connector Hood Wiring 

 

To install the Quick Release Connector, perform the following steps. 

 

1.

 

Remove the four screws from the mating connector housing that hold the terminal block in place. Remove terminal block 

from housing. 

 

2.

 

Insert wiring through liquid tight flexible seal and mating connector housing. Leave enough wire exposed to comfortably 

reach the terminal block. Wire to terminal block according to wire code in Table 1. A similar wiring list is attached to 

enclosure. 

 

There are two orientations of the connector hood. The terminal block can be inserted 

either way so the connector hood points up or down. Choose the direction best for your 

application.  

NOTE 

 

4.  Tighten Liquid Tight fitting on housing. 

OPTIONAL

: In some hostile environments, seal between connector body and 

 

Sensor Module can be improved by smearing a sealant (silicone grease, etc.) on the neoprene seal of the connector. 

 

5. 

 

Mate connector into place on sensor mount and snap the two latches into place. If only one sensor is being installed,      

 

ensure cover plate is installed over other sensor hole.
