General, Safety, Transport and Storage 4 General, Safety, Transport and Storage 4.1 Information Operating Manual This manual contains important information regarding the handling of the device. For your own safety and operational safety, please ob- serve all safety warnings and instructions. Precondition for safe operation is the compliance with the specified safety and handling instruc- tions.
General, Safety, Transport and Storage Demounting and Disposal Unless acceptance and disposal of returned goods are agreed upon, demount the device considering the safety instructions of this manual and dispose it with respect to the environment. Before demounting, disconnect the power supply and secure against re-start. Then disconnect the supply lines physically and discharge remaining energy.
General, Safety, Transport and Storage Conventional Use The ELGO-device is only conceived for the conventional use described in this manual. The magnetic linear encoder GMIX1A only serves to measure lengths. CAUTION! Danger through non-conventional use! Non-intended use and non-observance of this operating manual can lead to dangerous situations. Therefore: Only use the device as described ...
Product Features 5 Product Features The GMIX1A is a magnetic, incremental linear encoder for meas- urement of lengths and distances. The evaluation electronics are housed in a separate box where the square wave output signals are indicated via LEDs. Another LED is used to indicate the operat- ing status.
Technical Data 6 Technical Data Identification The type label serves for the identification of the unit. It is located on the housing of the device and indicates the exact type designation (=order reference 10) with the corresponding part number. Furthermore, the type label contains a unique, traceable device number.

Installation and First Start-Up 7 Installation and First Start-Up CAUTION Please read the operating manual carefully before using the device! Strictly observe the Installation instructions! In case of damage caused by failure to observe this operating manual, the warranty expires. ELGO is not liable for any secondary damage and for damage to persons, property or assets.
Installation and First Start-Up Mounting the Evaluation Box The evaluation box has two lateral Ø 4.5 mm mounting holes for mounting the housing on a surface with two M4 screws. The drilling distance is 106 mm. see also section 6.3 Dimensions of Evaluation Box ...
Installation and First Start-Up Installation of the Magnetic Tape NOTE: External Magnetic Fields The magnetic tape must not be influenced by external magnetic fields! The magnetic tape must not come into direct contact with other magnetic fields (e.g. permanent magnets, mag- netic clamps, electromagnets, magnetic stands)! This may cause irreparable damage, which will compromise the measuring accuracy or even the functioning.
Installation and First Start-Up 7.4.2 Handling In order to avoid tension in the tape, it must not be stretched, compressed or twisted. It should be stored with the magnetized plastic tape to the outside. The minimum bending radius is 150 mm. Magnetized plastic tape Steel tape...
Installation and First Start-Up The tape must be glued smoothly on the surface. The measuring accuracy decreases if the tape is not even! Before gluing the magnetic tape and the cover tape onto the surface, they should be left lying on the mounting surface for ca.
Design and Functions 8 Design and Functions DIL Switch Settings DIL switch In order to make settings or changes, the cover of the evaluation box must be removed. To do this, loosen the four Phillips screws on the upper side and then remove the housing cover.
Design and Functions Signal LEDs The LEDs on the evaluation box have the following functions: Table 7: Signal LEDs Green Flashing sequences see section 8.2.1 ON if signal output channel A ON if signal output channel B ...
Design and Functions Connections On the housing of the evaluation box there is a female 9-pin D-SUB connector for the connections of the GMIX1A. The pin assignment for the matching (male) D-SUB counterpart is shown in the following table: Table 8: Pin assignment D-SUB connector Connector type Drawing Function...
Disturbances, Maintenance, Cleaning 9 Disturbances, Maintenance, Cleaning This chapter describes possible causes for disturbances and measures for their removal. In case of increased disturbances, please follow the measures for fault clearance in chapter 9.1. In case of disturbances that cannot be eliminated by following the advice and the fault clear- ance measures given here, please contact the manufacturer (see second page).
