Introduction

1.1

Overview

The ChipEncoder is an encoder system on a chip:

Small enough to mount directly on a printed circuit board

Designed for high-volume applications

Compatible with low-cost automated assembly processes
The instructions in this manual apply to the following ChipEncoders models:

Models CE300-4, CE300-40

Model CE40-GC

Laser Safety Information

This product is sold solely for use as a component (or replacement) in an electronic product; therefore, it
is not required to, and does not comply with U.S. FDA 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 which pertain to
complete laser products. The manufacturer of the complete system-level electronic product is
responsible for complying with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11.
MicroE Systems encoders contain an infrared laser diode or diodes. Emitted invisible laser radiation
levels have been measured to be within the CDRH Class 1 range, which is not considered hazardous;
however, to minimize exposure to the diverging beam, install the encoder sensor in its operational
configuration in close proximity to the encoder scale before applying power.

Invisible laser radiation: wavelength of 850 nm.

Maximum power of 2.4 mW CW.

Caution: The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard. Do not view
powered encoder directly with optical instruments (microscopes, eye loupes, or magnifiers).

All maintenance procedures such as cleaning must be performed with the MicroE encoder
turned off.

Do not insert any reflective surface into the beam path when the encoder is powered.

Do not attempt to service the MicroE encoder.

1. Follow standard ESD precautions. Turn power to off before connecting the
sensor.
2. Do not touch electrical pins without static protection such as a grounded wrist
strap.
