ChipEncoder Series
Installation Manual and Reference Guide
2.0

Before Installation

Review the items in this section prior to installing the ChipEncoder.
2.1

Power Recommendations

The ChipEncoder requires a 5.0 V

The ChipEncoders require a minimum of 4.5 V

When designing circuits and extension cables to use ChipEncoders, be sure to account for
voltage loss over distance and tolerances from the nominal supply voltage so that at least
4.5 V
DC
be confirmed by measuring between the applicable 5 V and ground pads.

The input voltage should not exceed 5.5 V
2.2

Installation Considerations

The ChipEncoder is a precision electronic instrument. It has been designed to function in a wide range
of applications and environments. To take full advantage of the encoder design, allow easy access to
the sensor for service and/or replacement.
For optimal performance and reliability:

DO follow standard ESD precautions while handling the sensor.

DO allow proper clearance for sensor head alignment.

DO follow setup and alignment instructions for the encoder system.

DO, where possible, install the scales in an inverted or vertical position to minimize
accumulation of dust.

DO NOT store sensors in an uncontrolled environment.

DO NOT electrically overstress the sensor (power supply ripple/noise).

DO NOT intentionally "hot swap" the sensor if the device is energized.
2.3

Handling Considerations

Note: Follow Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions at all times. Prior to reflow soldering, pay
particular attention to preventing ESD damage as the damage threshold is 500 V.
When handling the ChipEncoder, do not allow the pickup device to touch anywhere in the "Keep Out
Zone." Refer to the following illustrations. Scratches or 'digs' in the Keep Out Zone can affect
ChipEncoder performance.
