Encoder Cable Installation

Plug shield spade connector onto
NON-TERM lug if encoder is grounded
to the machine

Note: The encoder cable can be pulled through 3/4" or
larger conduit. Pull the cable from the controller to the
encoder. Turn the encoder connector (rectangular) parallel
to the cable (as pictured to the left) and tape it in this position
while it is being pulled. Pull the connector through conduit
before following the cable installation steps below.
A bulkhead connector assembly (PS-4300-09-XXX) is
available for installations where it is desirable to unplug the
encoder cable from the control enclosure.
1. Turn encoder connector (rectangular) parallel to cable
and slide knurled compression nut over it. Threaded end
of nut must face encoder connector.
2. Slip the nylon friction washer and the rubber sealing
grommet onto the cable by opening up the splits.
3. Turn encoder connector parallel to the cable and slide it
through the encoder compression seal fitting.
4. Plug encoder connector into the receptacle, making sure
that raised key on connector mates with the key slot in
the receptacle.
5. Plug the shield spade connector onto the "NON-TERM"
spade lug if the encoder is grounded to the machine, or
onto the "TERM" lug if the encoder is not grounded.
6. Slide the rubber grommet, nylon washer, and
compression nut up to the compression fitting. Thread
on the compression nut. Push a small amount of cable
into the encoder to insure that it isn't pulling on the
connector as the compression nut is tightened.
7. Put lid back on encoder. Operating without the lid can
allow dust and other contamination to affect proper
operation of the encoder.
