2.3 Electrical Installation
Electrical connections are made to t e sensor module t roug a standard 1/2 inc NPT liquid tig t flexible conduit. T e nipple
lengt may be c anged to extend t e outlet box if desired. Interconnection cable recommendations are as follows: stranded
copper, 22 t roug 16 gage, braided or foil wit drain wire s ielding 0.05 µF maximum total mutual or direct capacitance,
outer s eat insulated. S rink tubing may be placed over any wires wit out insulation. For lengt s over 100 feet, use 18 gage
or larger, to a maximum of *1000 feet. If s ielded twisted pair wire is used, do not cross c annels. Keep eac pair of
complementary c annel outputs toget er in a single twisted pair (e.g., A and A complement).

rounding: For applications with high ground potential differences, DO NOT ground the encoder through both
achine and controls end. Connect the shield at the controls end only. NOTE: If the shield is connected at
both ends, grounding problems that degrade system performance can result.
CE rounding Measures – For best EMC i unity the cable screen ust be grounded on both encoder and
controls end. For cable lengths longer than 30 or outdoor applications, additional easures ust be
i ple ented to co ply with CE require ents. Connection of the encoder to DC power supply network is
prohibited if CE co pliance is required. CE-co pliant products are tested to EN61326-1 EMC.
In all cases, syste CE co pliance is ulti ately the responsibility of the anufacturer integrating the encoder.
