DESCRIPTION
The Avtron Model HS6A is a light mill duty absolute encoder. It
expresses the position of rotation as an output message or value.
HS6A can measure a single turn of rotation or multiple rotations. The
HS6A measures the shaft rotation and position without the need for
external power or internal batteries or capacitors through its internal
gearbox system. The HS6A operates down to zero speed and can be
used for both control and instrumentation applications.
CAUTION
Do not utilize HS6A in hazardous locations which
require ATEX, UL, CUL, CSA, or other explosion protection
certification. HS6A is not certified for hazardous
locations.
The HS6A is designed for direct mounting on shafts and utilizes a
tether mount to secure the housing.
The HS6A features an interchangable set of sizing inserts to allow
the same unit to fit shafts over the full size range, 6-15mm. Note
that the optional thru-shaft 12mm unit can also be resized 6-12mm
using a different set of sizing inserts.
The HS6A uses optical sensors; to protect the optical sensors and
bearing systems HS6A features extensive seal systems. (Option "X"
unsealed is only available/standard on 12mm thru-shaft).
SAFETY
The HS6A is not considered as a safety device and is not suitable for
connection into a safety system.

CAUTION
Be careful not to damage clamping fingers of hollow
shaft during handling. Do not tighten clamping collar
before installation onto motor shaft.
WARNING
Installation should be performed only by qualified
personnel. Safety precautions must be taken to ensure
machinery cannot rotate and all sources of power are
removed during installation.
