Restrictions on the Application of Encoder

Precautions for Safe Use

1. Avoid wiring the prduct's cables parallel to power lines or high-voltage lines. Doing so may cause the product to malfunction due to induction or may cause the damage the product.
2. Minimize the wiring length to prevent the product from being affected by noise,etc.
3. Since improper pulses may occur when the power is turned on or off, use the devices connected to this product at least 1.0 seconds before or after the power is turned on or off.
4. Be careful when wiring, such as being careful with the polarities of the power supply. Incorrect wiring may break or burn the product.
5. Do not short-circuit the load. Doing so may break or burn the product.
6. Do not use the encorder under the environment with explosive or ignition gas.
7. Never disassemble, repair nor tamper with the product.

Precautions for Correct Use

1. Since the product consists of high-precision components, handle it with utmost care.
2. Be careful not to expose the product to water or oil.
3. Be sure to turn off the power supply before wiring. If the output line contacts the power supply line while the power is being supplied, the outout circuit may be damaged.
4. If the product is mounted and wired with a cord, do not pull the cord with force greater then 29.4N.
5. Be careful not to apply excessive load to the shaft. Excessive load may cause the product break. Especially when linking with a chain, timing belt, or gears, connect a separate bearing before the couping to the product.
6. If an installation error such as misalignment is too large,(in case using the coupling or without coupling) the shaft will be subjected to an excessive load which will damage it or shorten its service life. Be careful when installing.
7. When inserting the shaft in the coupling, do not use excessive force (by striking it with hammer, for example).
8. When installing or removing the coupling, do not apply an excessive being, compressing, or tensile force.
9. Be careful not to connect the cable incorrectly. Doing so, incorrect encoder value will be read.

Agreement for Use

1. To ensure the operator's safety, do not use this product for the purpose of the direct or indirect human body detection.
2. If use in the application is acceptable, use the product with extra allowance in ratings and specifications, and provide safety measures to minimize hazards in the event of failure (such as using safety circuits).
• Outdoor use, use involving potential chemical contamination or electrical interference, or use in conditions or environments not described in product catalogs or manuals.
• Nuclear energy control systems, combustion systems, railroad systems, aviation systems, vehicle systems, medical equipment, amusement machines, and installations subject to separate industry or government regulations.
• Systems, machines, and equipment that may present a risk to life or property.
• Systems that require a high degree of reliability, such as systems that supply gas, water, or electricity, or systems that operate continuously 24 hours a day.
• Other systems that require a similar high degree of safety.
