Recommendations for Power
Mercury
II ™ encoders require a minimum of 4.75V
DC continuously. When designing circuits and
extension cables to use Mercury
II encoders, be
sure to account for voltage loss over distance and
tolerances from the nominal supply voltage so that
at least 4.75V DC is available to the Mercury
II
encoder under all operating conditions. The input
voltage should not exceed 5.25V DC.
C2.1
Installation Considerations
The Mercury
II encoder 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 Mercury
II modular
system design, considerations should be made to
allow easy access to the sensor (and interpolator
modules where applicable) for service and/or
replacement.
For optimal performance and reliability:
DO follow standard ESD precautions while
handling the sensor and interpolator.
DO allow proper clearance for sensor head
alignment.
DO follow setup and calibration 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.
DO NOT use in high contamination applications
(dust, oil, excessive humidity, or other airborne
contaminants.).
