2 Safety and operating instructions

Supplementary information
•
This manual is intended as supplement to already existing documentation (catalogues, data sheet and
mounting instructions).
•
The manual must be read carefully prior to initial commissioning of the equipment.
Intended purpose of the equipment
•
The encoder is a precision measurement device. It is used to determine angular positions and
revolutions and to prepare and supply measured values in the form of electrical output signals for control
systems. The encoder must not be used for any other purpose.
Commissioning
•
Encoders may only be installed and mounted by suitably qualified experts.
•
Observe the operating instructions of the machine manufacturer.
Safety remarks
•
Prior to commissioning of the equipment, check all electrical connections.
•
If installation, electrical connections or any other work performed at the encoder or at the equipment is
not correctly executed, this can result in encoder malfunction or failure.
•
Steps must be taken to exclude any risk of personal injury, damage to facility or operating appliances as
a result of encoder failure or malfunction by providing suitable safety precautions.
•
The encoder must not be operated beyond the specified limits (see further documentation).
Failure to comply with the safety remarks can result in malfunctions, personal injury or material damage!
Transport and storage
•
Only ever transport or store encoders in their original packaging.
•
Never drop encoders or expose them to major vibrations.
Mounting
•
Avoid impacts or shocks on housing and shaft.
•
Avoid any twist or torsion on housing.
•
Do not open the encoder or proceed any mechanical modifications.
Shaft, ball bearings, glass disc or electronic components might be damaged. In this case, safe and reliable
operation is no longer guaranteed.
Electrical commissioning
•
Do not proceed any electrical modifications at the encoder.
•
Do not proceed any wiring work while encoder is under power supply.
•
Never plug or unplug connector while encoder is under power supply.
•
Ensure that the entire system is installed in line with EMC/EMI requirements. Operating environment and
wiring have an impact on the electromagnetic compatibility of the encoder. Install encoder and supply
cables separately or far away from sources with high emitted interference (frequency converters,
contactors, etc).
•
When working with consumers with high emitted interference provide separate encoder supply voltage.
•
Completely shield encoder housing and connecting cables..
•
Connect encoder to protective earth (PE) using shielded cables. The braided shield must be connected
to the cable gland or connector. Ideally, aim at dual connection to protective earth (PE), i.e. housing by
mechanical assembly and cable shield by the downstream devices. In case of earth loop problems, earth
at least on one side.
Failure to observe these instructions can result in malfunctions, material damage or personal injury!
