SICK encoders are measuring devices manufactured using state-of-the-art technology.
Precise alignment and centering of the encoder during installation reduces shaft mis‐
alignment and side-loading which decreases the stress on the encoder bearings and
stator coupling.
To avoid straining the stator coupling during assembly, always flange-mount the
encoder first and then mount the clamping ring for the hollow-shaft clamp.
In the case of encoders with a cable outlet, the braided screen is connected to the
housing.
EMC considerations make it mandatory to connect the device housing or cable screen
to ground. This is achieved by connecting the cable braided screen. The braided screen
should be connected over a large area.
Please obey the maximum ambient temperature in the application. The product has a
maximum ambient temperature rating of +85 °C ... +100 °C (depending on type). The
UL approved temperature range is max. +75 °C.
CAUTION
Encoder cleaning practices (pressure, distance, temperature) must not exceed the IP
rating of the device.
NOTICE
• The encoders should only be mounted by a specialist with electrical and precision
engineering knowledge.
• The encoder may only be used for the purpose for which it was intended.
• Observe the relevant national work safety regulations as specified by trade associ‐
ations.
• During mounting, disconnect all applicable devices/machinery and systems from
the voltage.
• Never connect or disconnect electrical connections to or from the encoder when
the voltage is switched on, as this may result in equipment damage.
• Make sure to avoid any blows or impact to the encoder shaft to prevent damage to
the ball bearings.
• Provide cables with strain relief, otherwise the encoder can become damaged.
•
Keep the path of the encoder clear. Collisions with objects can destroy the
encoder.
•
To ensure the encoders function properly, they must be connected to an EMC
screen (fitted on both sides).
