Shielding
For optimum performance:
•
Ensure 100% shielding
•
Ground the mounting brackets
•
Use a metal clamp around the cable ferrule to ground the readhead cable
•
Ensure continuity of all shields
•
Maximise the distance between the encoder and motor cables
•
Provide appropriate strain relief at the readhead and interface
•
The ACi should be contained within a shielded enclosure
•
Ensure suitable clamping to retain interboard connector to the mating connector
Mounting
The ACi can be mounted to customers' system using two M3 screws or two M2.5 screws for through mounting.
Output
The output connector is a 10-way JST, GH crimp connector with 1.25 mm pitch. It is suitable for cable
size 26 to 30 AWG. See page
58
for pin-out information.
Approved ESD precautions must be followed at all times during readhead
and interface electrical connection.
