Preparation
Unpacking the Device
1.
Check the packaging and contents for damage.
In the event of damage, inform the shipping company and notify the supplier.
2.
Check the package contents against your order and the shipping documents to ensure that all
items are present and correct.
Should you have any questions, direct them to Fuchs.
3.
Retain the original packaging in case the device is to be stored or shipped again at a later date.
Do not allow the rotary encoder to fall or expose it to strong vibrations. The rotary encoder is
a precision instrument.
Rotary encoders from Fuchs are rugged; however, they should nevertheless be
protected against damage in ambient conditions by taking appropriate protective mea-
sures. In particular, the devices must not be installed in a location where they could be mis-
used as a handle or climbing aid.
Do not make any alterations to the drive shaft or the housing of the rotary encoder.
Note
For rotary encoders with solid shaft, use a suitable coupling to connect the shaft to the drive
shaft of the part to be measured. The coupling is required to protect the drive shaft on the rotary
encoder against excessive levels of force, to compensate for shaft offset, and to reduce the
impact of vibrations. Suitable couplings are available as accessories from Fuchs.
