IQAN-LC6-X05
Primary and secondary signals
The IQAN-LC6-X05 has two signals outputs for each axis. The signals are antivalent,
meaning that the secondary output when correct will be the "mirror image" of the
primary signal.It is recommended to compare the signals in the controller to detect fault
and protect against unwanted movement.
Use of limited signal range
The analog outputs of the IQAN-LC6-X05 use limited signal range to provide an
additional method for error detection. The operating signal range for primary and
secondary outputs are 10%-90% Vs and 90%-10% Vs respectively. Vs (power supply)
is 5Vdc. This allows the controller to detect if a wire is pulled loose or making contact
with a powered wire. Detecting wiring faults can protect against unintended movement.

ARNING
Risk of injury! Do not use in areas with high magnetic fields.
The IQAN-LC6-X05 is based on hall effect sensors. The LC6 is designed with
magnetic deflection to reduce the influence of external magnetic fields, but exposure to
high external magnetic fields may lead to unwanted activation of the output signals.
For maximum allowed external magnetic field, see Appendix A, on page 17.
