Page 12: Specific Conditions Of Use
SPECIFIC CONDITIONS OF USE The Encoder-Flex 1024 shall be connected to a suitable external earth via the mounting holes or via the mounting screws and a suitable ring crimp. The integral cable shall be terminated in a suitably certified enclosure or in a safe area. -
Page 13: Standard Wiring Diagram
STANDARD WIRING DIAGRAM All wiring must be in accordance with local and national electrical codes and should be undertaken by an experienced and qualified electrician. If required by local installation code, use dust/liquid tight flexible metal conduit with approved fittings to protect the sensor cables. If required, mount a suitable junction box within the supplied length of the product’s cable and (if required, using a suitable conduit to protect the cables) make the necessary wiring connections inside this junction box. - Page 14 Current Loop Output Wiring Example PTD110V6 Wiring Example PTD110V6 Programing Instructions 14 of 29...

Page 15: Installation
INSTALLATION The Encoder-Flex 1024 should be mounted to a rotating shaft using the threaded or D-profile shaft of the encoder. A belt or bracket can be mounted onto the two recessed screw threads and this can be used to provide further mechanical support but is primarily for the purpose of stopping slight movements in the device housing. -
Page 16: Operation
OPERATION Layout The Encoder-Flex 1024’s interface consists of two bi-color (red/green) LED’s labeled Input and Set. Additionally, in the center of the device is a magnetic target (labeled CALIBRATE) which can be used to control the operating mode and calibration. A special calibration magnet is supplied, but any dual pole magnet can be used. - Page 17 1024 then the device will be able to continue to keep track when powered back on up to half a turn on the shaft. If the machine/shaft is moved further than this without power then the Encoder-Flex 1024 will need to be recalibrated for Multi Turn in the method previously described.
- Page 18 During an error state the set LED will flash several times in sequence. And the output may not act as expected. This flash can be green or red. If this occurs, please note the color and number of flashes that are repeating and contact 4B for further instructions.

Document. Configuration is limited in this mode, the GUI (see below) should be used to remotely configure/calibrate the encoder. Encoder-Flex 1024 Interface GUI Additionally, the device can also be controlled via a GUI called the Encoder-Flex 1024 Configurator. This gives a live view of the current measurements as well as allowing the device to be configured with different settings. - Page 22 Dashboard • Dial indicates shaft orientation • 4-20 mode shows current operating mode • Readouts for 4-20, total turns, RPM, Multi turn percentage • Error Information • Buttons for remotely changing modes and calibrating device 22 of 29...
- Page 23 • Set Tacho (Speed) Resolution • Change Current Output mode (Default Auto) • Change 4-20 to 0-20 • Advanced settings for troubleshooting only – Contact 4B Once changes are made press program settings. Encoder will remember settings even after power reset.
- Page 24 Program Device Used to update firmware. Only use when recommended by 4B. If done incorrectly or with wrong file, it may render the encoder un-usable. Extra Info The below information is available via Modbus registers as well. This information can be useful for troubleshooting purposes.
