Zeroing Procedure The LINK LED will be illuminated if properly connected. Energize or lock the motor windings into place where the encoder’s U channel should have its rising edge. Once aligned this will be the zero position. Contact the motor manufacturer for additional information on commutation phase and timing diagrams.
