Read these operating instructions carefully before you mount and commission the
Encoder.
These operating instructions provide qualified technical personnel of the machine man‐
ufacturer or the machine operator with instructions regarding the mounting, electrical
installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of the encoder.
AHS/AHM36 IO-Link and AHS/AHM IO-Link Inox absolute encoders are manufactured
using state-of-the-art technology.
The encoders should only be mounted by qualified personnel with electrical and
b
precision engineering knowledge.
The encoder may only be used for the purpose for which it was intended.
b
Observe the relevant national work safety regulations as specified by trade associ‐
b
ations.
During mounting, disconnect all applicable devices, machinery and systems from
b
the voltage.
Never connect or disconnect electrical connections to or from the encoder when
b
the voltage is switched on, as this may result in equipment damage.
Prevent any impact to the shaft and collet.
b
Block the customer's drive shaft. Mount the coupling (1) on the encoder (2); ensure
that this does not touch the encoder flange. Slide the encoder (2) together with the
mounted coupling (1) onto the drive shaft. Mount the encoder (2) using four M3 screws
(3). Mount the coupling (1) on the drive shaft. Ensure that the coupling is not subjected
to any axial stress. Establish an electrical connection when the voltage is switched off.
Switch on the voltage and check that the encoder is functioning.
Block the customer's drive shaft. Mount the coupling (1) on the encoder (4); ensure
that this does not touch the encoder flange. Mount servo clamps (2) using M3 screws
(3). Do not tighten the screws; twist the servo clamps in such a way that the encoder
flange can be pushed into the center. Slide the encoder (4) together with the mounted
coupling (1) onto the drive shaft and center.
Engage the servo clamp (2) by rotating it into the slot and tighten it slightly. Mount the
coupling (1) on the drive shaft. Ensure that the coupling is not subjected to any axial
stress. Tighten all three screws on the servo clamps. Establish an electrical connection
when the voltage is switched off. Switch on the voltage and check that the encoder is
functioning.
