Ratings and Specifications
*1. An inrush current of approximately 9 A will flow for approximately 0.3 ms when the power is turned ON.
*2. The maximum electrical response speed is determined by the resolution and maximum response frequency as follows:
This means that the E6A2-C Rotary Encoder will not operate electrically if its speed exceeds the maximum electrical response speed.
*3. No protection is provided against water or oil.

Safety Precautions
Refer to Warranty and Limitations of Liability.
This product is not designed or rated for ensuring
safety of persons either directly or indirectly.
Do not use it for such purposes.
Do not use the Encoder under ambient conditions that exceed the ratings.
● Wiring
Spurious pulses may be generated when power is turned ON and
OFF. Wait at least 0.1 s after turning ON the power to the Encoder
before using the connected device, and stop using the connected
device at least 0.1 s before turning OFF the power to the Encoder.
Also, turn ON the power to the load only after turning ON the power
to the Encoder.
