Rotating Machinery
Avoid contact wit rotating parts. Avoid by-passing or rendering inoperative any safety guards or protection devices. Avoid
extended exposure in close proximity to mac inery wit ig noise levels. Use proper care and procedures in andling, lifting,
installing, operating and maintaining t e equipment.
Before Installation
Safe maintenance practices wit qualified personnel is imperative. Before starting maintenance procedures, be positive t at, (1)
equipment connected to t e s aft will not cause mec anical rotation, (2) main mac ine windings ave been disconnected and
secured from all electrical power sources, and (3) all accessory devices associates wit t e work area ave been de-energized.
If ig potential insulation test is required, follow procedures and precautions outlined in NEMA standards MG-1.
Grounding
Improperly grounding t e frame of t e mac ine can cause serious or fatal injury to personnel. Grounding of t e mac ine frame
and structure s ould comply wit t e National Electrical Code and wit sound local practices. C eck wiring diagram before
connecting power.
Do Not Operate In An Explosive At osphere
Do not operate t e instrument in t e presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operating any electrical instrument in suc an
environment constitutes a definite safety azard.
Keep Away Fro Live Circuits
Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component replacement and internal adjustments must be made by
qualified maintenance personnel. Do not replace components wit power cable connected. To avoid injuries, always
disconnect power and disc arge circuits before touc ing t em.

1.2 Description
T e Nort Star SLIM Tac P
®
P SL56 is a modular digital encoder. T is magnetoresistive encoder sensor-based unit as been
designed for fast, easy mounting onto a standard NEMA 56C motor face. T e basic design p ilosop y is as follows: T e
encoder frame is mounted onto t e C-face flange of a motor. T is positions t e sensor and contains t e electronics. T e
magnetic pulse w eel on t e motor s aft as magnetic pulses imprinted on its outside surface. As t e motor spins, t e passing
magnetic pulses actuate t e magnetoresistive sensor. T e resulting electronic signals are processed into square wave signals by
t e internal electronics.
