  • Page 17: Encoder Lead Extension

    LA Series Linear Actuator Manual 3-5 Encoder lead extension Twist shielded cable is recommended for extension encoder cable. When the extension cable length is shorter than 2m, shield cable is possible to use. Total length of the extension cable should be less than 10m. The length is near to 10m, check the followings: ①Check the supplied voltage at the extension cable end of encoder side whether it is more than rated value.
  • Page 18 LA Series Linear Actuator Manual ■Connection through opto-isolator This is useful when the extension distance is less than 10m. (1)Opto-Isolator: TLP550 (Maximum: around 50kHz) for an example (2)Set the pull-up resistance (R ) with the following equation so that I is 10~20mA.
