General specifications
Power supply
5 V ±10% Readhead only <100 mA
T103x with Ti0000 <100 mA
T103x with Ti0004 – Ti20KD or TD4000 – TD0040 <200 mA
NOTE: C
urrent consumption figures refer to unterminated
systems.
For digital outputs a further 25 mA per channel pair
(eg A+, A
−
) will be drawn when terminated with 120R
.
For analogue outputs a further 20 mA in total will be
drawn when terminated with 120R
.
Power from a 5 V dc supply complying with the
requirements for SELV of standard IEC BS EN 60950-1.

Renishaw encoder systems have been designed to the relevant EMC standards, but must be correctly
integrated to achieve EMC compliance. In particular, attention to shielding arrangements is essential.

Reference mark
Type
Customer selected
IN-TRAC
reference mark, directly
embedded into incremental track. Bi-directional position
repeatability
Selection
Single reference mark selection by selector magnet
(A-9653-0143) customer positioned.
L ≤100 mm
Single reference mark at scale centre
