Product Featuresn Special seals in housings offer increased protection from
weather and contaminantsn A patented lightning discharge path between the shaft
and housing guards against electrostatic charges and
lightning strikesn Short-circuit protected HTL line drivers with temperature
monitoring of transistorsn Special filter circuit for supply voltage n Spacious EMC proof reversible terminal box cover n EMC protected and shockproof mounted electronicsn Sensing of incremental disk by opto-ASICn Flexible stator couplingn Hybrid bearings (optional) are insulated from shaft
currents and offer long life
Benefitsn Rugged construction with solid aluminum housing for
high vibration and shock resistance in accordance with
IEC 60068-2-6 and IEC 60068-2-27. n High-threshold logic (HTL) signals with short-circuit proof
output power transistors up to 300 mA or line driver IC
or TTL signals meeting RS-422. n EMC-protected conforming to CE regulations.
