1 About this manual Lenord + Bauer Target group ● Operating instructions for GEL 235 Ex design Target group These Mounting Instructions are intended for operators, manufacturers, electrical en- gineers, and licensed electricians under the supervision of an electrical engineer. Abbreviations and explanations of terms Direct current Electrostatic discharge, or Electrostatic sensitive device...
Lenord+Bauer 2 Safety instructions Designated use Safety instructions Designated use The absolute rotary encoders are intended exclusively for measurement tasks in the industrial and commercial realm. It is to be installed in a system and requires the con- nection to special evaluation electronics, which, for example, are contained in a posi- tioning controller or an electronic counter.
2 Safety instructions Lenord + Bauer Avoiding property damage Notes about avoiding property damage and malfunctions The encoders are designed to be extremely robust. Nevertheless, they can be damaged due to impermissible mechanical loads. Mechanical damage can quickly cause the failure of the measurement system.
Lenord+Bauer 2 Safety instructions EMC notes 2.5.5 Saving battery power (GEL 2035 multiturn only) The encoder can be put in a “sleep mode” to lengthen battery’s life (delivery condition). This is applicable for the following situations: ● Longer lasting abandonment of the plant ●...

2 Safety instructions Lenord + Bauer EMC notes The sensor is part of a machine or system. Incorporate the potential equalization for the sensor into the overall screening concept. Lay signal and control lines spatially separated from the power cables. If this is not possible, then use pair-stranded and screened cables and/or lay the encoder cable in a steel conduit.
Lenord+Bauer 3 Description Task Description Task The absolute rotary encoder measures the angle of a machine axis via one or several turns and delivers a corresponding digital output signal. Construction Exemplary illustration for GEL 235 with axial cable outlet (on the left) and radial con-...
3 Description Lenord + Bauer SSI data output With the SSI variant, the position value is output serially in binary or grey code. Fur- thermore, this encoder delivers 64 sin/cos differential signals per revolution for an ex- ternal interpolation. With the analog variant, the absolute position is output either as 0–10 V voltage or 4– 20 mA current values.
Lenord+Bauer 4 Mounting Check fixture Mounting The following steps are required for the mounting of the encoder: 1. Check fixture 2. Mount encoder 3. Mount fieldbus cable with corresponding encoder type 4. Lay cable Check fixture For all required measurement details, see the dimensional drawings in section (→...
4 Mounting Lenord + Bauer Mount encoder Since the encoders can be used many different ways, the way it is attached is also variable. Therefore, no step-by-step instructions for installation will be provided here, but rather only a graphic overview of some usual mounting possibilities (mainly for GEL 235).

6 Disassembly and disposal Lenord + Bauer Disassembly Disassembly and disposal Disassembly of the encoder If a still-intact device should be removed, for example for a retrofitting, only touch the plug pins and connection wires with suitable body grounding, for example using an ESD armband in order to prevent damage to the electronic components due to electrostatic discharge.
The encoder contains no parts that require maintenance. Do not try to repair the encoder yourself. Necessary repairs may only be made by LENORD+BAUER or an explicitly-authorized agent. No change may be made to devices that are operated in areas subject to explosion.
8 Malfunctions Lenord + Bauer Malfunctions Additional malfunctions in the fieldbus variants are listed in the separate Reference manual of the respective type.
