0.287” 3.7 Mounting the sensor with LS1 and LS2 limit switches SMS12 linear encoder integrates two sensors designed to detect external limit switches (code LKM-1309/LS). They allow to detect the ends in the travel. External references LS1 and LS2 must be installed at either/both ends of the sensor's travel on the side shown in the Figure respecting the indicated tolerances.

This encoder can be optionally provided with rubber cleaning wipers to be mounted on the sensing head (order code KIT WIPERS). They are designed for debris removal from the magnetic tape surface in order to ensure a clear path of motion. MAN SMS12 E 1.1 Mechanical installation 17 of 32...
LS1 / LS2 limit switch signals (see the “4.9 LS1 and LS2 limit switches” section on page 23). NOTE All sensors can provide inverted signals. A = A signal; /A = inverted A signal (or complementary signal). MAN SMS12 E 1.1 Electrical connection 18 of 32...
SMS12 All Lika's magnetic sensors can provide AB0, /AB0 output signals. You are advised to always connect the inverted signals if the receiving device will accept them. Otherwise each output should be insulated singularly. 4.2 M10 cable specifications Model : LIKA HI-FLEX sensor cable type M10 Cross section : 2 x 0.22 mm...
The best solution to minimize the interference must be carried out by the user. You are advised to provide the ground connection as close as possible to the encoder. MAN SMS12 E 1.1 Electrical connection 20 of 32...

The typical repeatability of the signal is 1% of the period length. EXAMPLE SMS12, 1 mm pole pitch: 1000 µm / 100 = 10 µm The Reference signal has a duration of 70 ±10 electrical degrees. The accuracy and the duration of the Reference pulse may vary depending on the alignment of the Reference magnet and the magnetic scale, see the Figure 8.

External references LS1 and LS2 must be installed at either/both ends of the sensor's travel on the side shown in the Figure and according to the indicated tolerances.
