Recommendations for Power
NOTICE
The LSC20 encoder require a minimum of 4.75 V DC continuously. When
designing circuits and extension cables, be sure to account for voltage loss
over distance and tolerances from the nominal supply voltage so that at
least 4.75 V DC is available to the LSC20 encoder under all operating con-
ditions. The input voltage should not exceed 5.25 V DC.
Installation Considerations
NOTICE
The LSC20 encoder is a precision electronic instrument. It has been
designed to function in a wide range of applications and environments. To
take full advantage of the modular system design, considerations should
be made to allow easy access to the sensor for service and/or replace-
ment. For optimal performance and reliability:
` DO follow standard ESD precautions while handling the sensor.
` DO allow proper alignment clearance for sensor head alignment.
` DO follow setup instructions for the encoder system.
` DO, where possible, install the scales in an "upside down" or vertical
` DO consider redundant encoders or additional feedback devices as
` DO NOT store sensors in an uncontrolled environment.
` DO NOT electrically overstress the sensor (Power supply ripple/noise).
` DO NOT intentionally "hot swap" the sensor if the device is energized.
` DO NOT use in high contamination applications (dust, oil, excessive
