Working Principle​
Infrared LED light passes through the rotating optical code disc; photodiodes convert light/dark patterns into electrical pulses, and the signal circuit outputs differential A/B/Z incremental feedback.
Installation Requirements​
Respect shaft misalignment tolerance
Avoid excessive axial/radial force
Lock connectors fully
Maintain cable bend radius
Ground housing to machine protective ground
Usage Precautions​
Use only 5 VDC supply
Prevent oil, coolant and conductive dust ingress
Never strike the code-disc assembly
Route encoder cables separately from motor power cables
Verify phase sequence before running
