General Information; Function Of The Encoder - Reer SAFECODER Instalación Uso Y Mantenimiento

This symbol indicates an important warning for personal safety. Failure to
comply with this warning may result in high level risk for exposed personnel.

1. General information

Please read these operating instructions carefully before going to work with the safe
encoder, mounting it or commissioning it.
These operating instructions guide the technical staff of the machine manufacturer or of
the machine user for safe assembly, electric installation, commissioning, and for
operating the safe encoder.
In addition, the planning and operation of protection devices such as the safe encoder
require technical competence that is not the subject of this document.
Basically, the legal and official requirements are to be adhered to when operating the safe
encoder.
The safe encoder may only be mounted, commissioned, inspected, serviced and operated
by authorized persons.
Authorized persons are:
 persons with a suitable technical training and
 who have been trained in the operation by the machine user and
 have been informed about the applicable safety guidelines and
 have access to these operating instructions.

2. Function of the encoder

The encoder types of the Safecoder family
supply an incremental signal.
The incremental position is provided in the
form of an analogue sine/cosine signal. The
resolution per revolution
sine/cosine periods.
The encoders are
interlocked bearings,
encoders are very rugged, accurate with a
long service life.
The IP protection rating of the encoders is
either IP65 or IP67, depending on the shaft
seal fitted. As a result of the optical scanning
of the incremental signals, the encoders
remain insensitive to magnetic fields.
