• For facilities in potentially explosive atmospheres, the au-
thorized person must comply with the applicable country-
specific regulations.
2.3 Transport / Storage
Check the delivery immediately upon receipt for possible
transport damages. If you do not mount the device immedi-
ately, store it preferably in its transport package.
When storing the encoder, make sure that the shaft and the
cable outlet are always free from any load.
The device must be stored at a dry and dust-free location, in
compliance with the technical data, see chapter
Technical Data [} 26].
2.4 Use According to the Intended Purpose
The encoder can be used as a rotation angle, position or
speed sensor.
The encoder supports functions based on speed and rotation
direction information, e.g. in industrial processes or controls.
They can i addition be used at locations where inflammable
mixtures can develop, see chapter
Explosion protection [} 24].
The measuring system and its evaluation unit must meet the
requirements mentioned in chapter Technical Data [} 26].
2.5 Foreseeable Misuse
The measuring system is not suitable for the following uses:
• Under water.
Operation Manual R60081.0029 - 04
• In publicly accessible areas.
• Outside of the specifications stated in the data sheet..
• In areas where more serious EMC events may occur than
those defined in the mentioned standard.

3 Product Description
3.1 Function of an Encoder
An encoder is a measuring device that converts rotational
movements into electrical signals. A distinction is drawn
between incremental and absolute encoders. Both deliver dif-
ferent output signals. The encoders described in this manual
are:
