General specifications

Power supply

5 V ±10% 1.25 W maximum (250 mA @ 5V)

NOTE:

 Current consumption figures refer to terminated 

EVOLUTE systems. Renishaw encoder systems must be 

powered from a 5 V dc supply complying with the requirements 

for SELV of standard IEC BS EN 60950-1.

Ripple 200 mVpp maximum @ frequency up to 500 kHz

Sealing

IP64

NOTE:

 This is the worst case figure that is correct for the 

slowest communications clock rates. For faster clock rates, the 

maximum acceleration of scale with respect to the readhead 

can be higher. For more details, please contact your local 

representative.

For maximum extension cable length, contact your local 

Renishaw representative.

The EVOLUTE encoder system has been designed to the relevant EMC standards, but must 

be correctly integrated to achieve EMC compliance. In particular, attention to shielding 

arrangements is essential.
