External Encoder Specifications

Standard voltage levels are TTL (0V to 5V), however, voltage levels up to 12V are acceptable. If using
differential 12V signals, no modification is required. Single ended 12V signals require a bias voltage
applied to the complimentary input, i.e.; use two 10k resistors, one connected to +12V and the other
connected to the encoder signal ground to hold the /A phase and /B phase at 6VDC. Do not use a 24VDC
encoder.
