The M284 removable sensor assembly has a diagnostic packagethat includes Adaptive Electronics and a Fault-Check output. Withthis package, the SMARTach can maintain itself, and let you knowif there is a problem before the problem causes unscheduleddowntime. Certain models automatically switch to back-up sensorsif a problem occurs. See MAINTENANCE Section III (page 6) formore details.
SECTION II: INSTALLATION
GENERAL
Proper installation of an M285 Encoder requires ROTORINSTALLATION, STATOR HOUSING INSTALLATION (the outercase of the encoder), SENSOR ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION,and completion of the GAPPING SEQUENCE. Also included inthis section are unpacking directions, wiring instructions, and out-line and mounting dimension drawings. The motor must complywith 1987 NEMA MG1-11.68 for dimensions, face runout, andshaft runout. Axial float or endplay must be less than ±0.050 inch.See Mechanical Specifications.
SECTION I: DESCRIPTIONGENERALThe Avtron Model M285 SMARTach™ (patents #5,502,376,#5,608,277, and #5,545,985) is an incremental encoder (also knownas tachometer or rotary pulse generator), allowing operation down tozero RPM. It provides a specific number of electrical Pulses PerRevolution (PPR) that are proportional to a shaft’s revolution. TheM285 SMARTach is a bearingless, couplingless, modular design,providing unequaled reliability, and mechanical performance.
The M285 fits AC and DC motors with an 8.5" C (FC / 180) Face.Both end-of-shaft and through shaft mountings are accommodated.
The M285 Encoder consists of three parts: a rotor, a stator housing,and removable sensor module. These precision machined partsmount to the accessory end of a motor that conforms to 1987 NEMAMG 1-11.68 for Type FC Face Mounting. See MechanicalSpecifications (page 2). After mounting, a simple, no-measurementgapping sequence precisely sets the sensor-rotor gap to factoryspecifications.
An Avtron M285 SMARTach is equipped with one or two M284sensor modules. Eachmodule has a two-phase output (A,B) 90° outof phase, with complements (A
–,B–), (A Quad B Output). A marker
pulse with complement (Z,Z–) is available as an option. An optional 4-
output housing is available.
Output resolution is determined by the rotor’s base PPR (pulses perrevolution), times an M284 sensor multiplier. The M284 sensormodule can provide: the base PPR, 1/2 the base PPR, or doublethe base PPR (see table 1-1).With two sensor modules, the sameencoder can provide two different PPRs from a given rotor at thesame time.Only one rotor per M285 is possible. Sensors and rotorsare not interchangeable between M285 units with different basePPRs.

Verify the V-ring seal is clear of the motor bearings and housing. V-ring sealcompression should be between 0.03" and 0.09" in final positionwhen plate is reapplied.
5. Reapply inner cover plate.
6. Mount rotor per instructions below, but increase axial positionfrom motor to rotor to 0.620" (from 0.584") to accommodate theinner seal plate thickness. See figure 2-2 (from drawing A26211,sheet 3).
7. Mount remainder of M285 per instructions below, orienting thebolt holes in the inner seal plate with the M285 stator housing.
STATOR HOUSING INSTALLATION
CAUTIONWhen the M285 stator housing is to be removed orinstalled, the M284 sensor assemblies MUST FIRSTbe removed from the stator housing.
The stator housing is retained to themotor using four, 1/2-13 x 3-1/4"bolts and spring type lock washers (supplied). See tables (page 5)for installation hardware kit part numbers, available separately. If thestator is to be sandwich mounted between an accessory such as abrake and the motor, select the bolt length accordingly. Carefullymove the stator housing into position, avoiding contact with the rotor.Install the four mounting bolts (torque 30 to 35 foot pounds).
If the encoder will be exposed to water spray, the bottom 1/8" pipeplug should be removed to provide a drainage path.
CAUTIONDO NOT use silicone sealants or caulk of any kindon the motor or encoder face; these can causemisalignment or sensor scraping damage. TheM285 electronics are fully sealed; water may enterand leave the rotor area as needed. A drain holeoption is available if frequent moisture buildup isexpected.
(OPTIONAL) OUTBOARD SEAL PLATE KIT INSTALLATION.
For applications requiring shafts to pass completely through theM285, such as brake sandwich applications, Avtron offers anoutboard through-shaft seal plate kit with V-ring seal. See table3-4 for part numbers and (figure 2-3).
To install the outboard through-shaft kit:
1. Install the encoder rotor as shown above in the standardposition from the motor face.
2. Remove the existing solid rear cover of the encoder. Retain the(4) #10-24 screws and washers.
3. Mount the M285 stator housing as shown above.
4. Install new through-shaft cover using the (4) #10-24 screws andwashers from step 2.
5. Apply silicone lubricant or medium grade machine oil (20weight) to the outboard side of the cover where the V-ring seal willcontact it.
6. Slide the V-ring seal onto the shaft, and ensure that it iscompressed against the cover. See installation figure 2-3

SENSOR ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
Before an M284 sensor assembly is installed in a stator housing, itmust be in the retracted position (as shipped). If the sensor waspreviously used the READJUSTMENT SEQUENCE, given inSection III (page 7), must first be done. Always do the readjustmentsequence if there is any question.
1.) Ensure that mating surfaces are clean and free of paint, burrs, etc.
2.) Ensure the rotor is stationary. Carefully position the sensorassembly in the stator housing, using the rounded corner of themounting surface to correctly orient the sensor. Use caution not todamage sensor face.
3.) Install the four #8-32 x 1" mounting screws, flat washers, andlock washers provided. The sensor-rotor gap must now be set byfollowing the GAPPING SEQUENCE.
GAPPING SEQUENCE
Follow the instructions as shown below in the M285 GappingSequence. See figure 2-4. If regapping is required, conduct theREADJUSTMENT SEQUENCE in Section III (page 6) first.
CAUTIONSequence must be followed properly or damage tothe sensor and the rotor will result.
CAUTIONDO NOT replace pin into the slotted hole or damagewill result.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Remove power before wiring.
Wiring diagrams are shown in figure 2-6.
For bi-directional operation of the encoder, proper phasing of thetwo output channels is important. Phase A channel leads phase Bchannel for clockwise shaft rotation as viewed from the anti-drive oraccessory end of the motor (encoder mounting end).
Wiring option "G" provides a pinout compatible with Northstarencoders, with a cable shield connection on pin 10. Note that thisoption does not ground the shield; Avtron still recommends

SECTION III: MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
This section describes routine maintenance for the Avtron M285Encoder. Parts lists are also provided. If additional information isrequired regarding service, parts, or repairs, please contactAvtron’s field service department at 216-642-1230. Avtron stan-dard warranty applies. For emergency after hours service contactus at 216-641-8317.
TABLE 3-4

The M285 SMARTach circuitry includes a diagnostic packagethat includes Adaptive Electronics and a Fault-Check output (seebelow).
ADAPTIVE ELECTRONICS
A perfect duty cycle consists of a waveform whose “high” and “low”conditions are of the same duration (50%/50%).
It is possible, over time, for duty cycle to change due tocomponent drift, temperature changes, and mechanical wear.The M285 adaptive electronics extends the life of the M285 byconstantly monitoring and correcting duty cycle over time.
FAULT-CHECK
The Fault-Check LED will turn green after power-up andsuccessful self calibration of the Adaptive Electronics. To calibrate,the M284 sensor must be properly installed and gapped, and themotor shaft and rotor must reach at least 100 RPM.
If the Adaptive Electronics reach their adjustment limit for anyreason, the Fault-Check alarm and LED will notify the drive andoperator of an impending failure. The LED will turn red if theAdaptive Electronics reach their adjustment limit, the Fault-Checkalarm and LED will notify the drive and operator of an impendingfailure. This output occurs before an actual failure, allowing stepsto be taken to replace the unit before it causes unscheduleddowntime. Fault-Check annunciation is available as an “alarm”output through the connector or as an optional integral LED.
STATOR HOUSING REMOVAL
CAUTIONBEFORE removing the stator housing, the sensorassemblies MUST be removed from the housing.
M284 SENSOR READJUSTMENT SEQUENCE
Follow this procedure if the sensor is removed and installed inanother encoder, or in another sensor location on the sameencoder, or if the stator has been removed and reinstalled onanother motor.
1.) Remove the sensor assembly from the M285 by removing thefour #8 mounting screws; then carefully pull the assembly out ofthe stator housing.
2.) Loosen the 1/4-20 locknut next to the quick release pin ring.
3.) Place the quick release pin (with ring) all the way into slottedhole.

See detail in figure 3-1.Enough force must be used inserting the pin toovercome the force of the gapping spring. Lifting itas shown will facilitate this process.
4.) As shown in figure 3-2, squeeze to apply a force on the bluemolded sensor support. The extension spring (visible) shouldeasily compress, and that end of the sensor support should moveabout 1/8". While holding in the compressed position, tighten the1/4-20 locknut until snug, about 1/3 to 1/2 turn after the locknutcontacts the housing (about 35 in-lbs).
5.) The sensor assembly may now be reinstalled into the statorhousing and gapped per the GAPPING SEQUENCE in Section II(page 4).
ROTOR REMOVALIf the motor shaft is rusted or damaged, remove rust and burrsbefore removing the rotor.
END-OF-SHAFT style: Remove hardware holding the rotor to theshaft.
THROUGH-SHAFT style: Loosen the set screws holding the rotorto the shaft.
Remove the rotor by hand, taking care not to damage the outermagnetized ring.
Anti-seize is supplied and should be applied at installation to keepthe rotor from seizing to the shaft. If the rotor can not be removedby hand use a gear puller taking care not to damage the outermagnetized ring. DO NOT APPLY HEAT TO THE ROTOR.
RENEWAL AND SPARE PARTS
Tables 3-1, 3-2, and 3-4 provide rotor part numbers and installationhardware kit part numbers for the various shaft sizes and types. Alldimensions are in inches (except as noted).
