1. Rotate the output shaft of the adapter until the slotted screw head can be seen
through the tapped hole in the bearing cover.
2. Voltage encoder:
•
Carefully screw it into the thread in the adapter flange [1] of the variable‑speed
gear unit until the voltage encoder [5] rests on the screw head [2].
•
Turn the encoder back by 2 turns and secure with the lock nut [3].
The sensing distance is now set to 2 mm. During operation, the voltage encoder sup-
plies 1 pulse per revolution at this sensing distance.
