E8P OEM Optical Kit Encoder Page 1 of 9 Description The E8P optical incremental kit encoder is designed for high volume, low cost, mid-resolution OEM motion control applications. The E8P is small enough for a NEMA Size 11 stepper motor.The E8P uses a single 5V supply and offers two TTL quadrature outputs. Single-ended or differential output options are available. A single chip reflective encoder module incorporates an LED, monolithic detector and molded lenses. The phased array technology accepts far wider mechanical tolerance and misalignment than traditional aperture type encoders. The E8P uses an innovative, patent pending, push-on codewheel that provides extremely secure and accurate, yet easy installation without setscrews. The E8P provides mounting holes for two #4-40, length .250" screws or two M2.5x.45mm, length 6mm screws on a 0.75" diameter bolt circle. When mounting holes are not available, an option with a transfer adhesive pre-applied to the base is available. A centering tool is provided to center the base to the motor shaft during installation. The codewheel pushes on by hand using a spacer tool to set the gap in one step. The cover snaps on to complete the assembly in seconds. The single-ended output version has a 4-pin high retention polarized connector and is designed to drive cables up to six feet long. For longer cable lengths, the differential output version (6-pin connector) is recommended to maximize noise immunity. The internal 26C31 differential line driver can source and sink 20 mA at TTL levels. The recommended receiver is industry standard 26C32. Maximum noise immunity is achieved when the differential receiver is terminated with a 150 resistor in series with a .0047 F capacitor placed across each differential pair. The capacitor simply conserves power. Otherwise power consumption would increase by approximately 20 mA per pair, or 40 mA for 2 pairs.

PCB Installation Position the PCB so that connector lines up with flat side of base. Push PCB onto base by hand so that the two guide posts fit into associated PCB holes. 2. Base Installation 2a. Standard: Secure base to mounting surface with provided mounting screws. Rev. 130115082731 E8P OEM Optical Kit Encoder Page 6 of 9 2b. Transfer Adhesive:Slip centering tool over shaft and into center hole of base. Slide both parts down shaft until they contact mounting surface. Press base firmly to assure good adhesion. Remove centering tool. Rev. 130115082731 E8P OEM Optical Kit Encoder Page 7 of 9 3. Codewheel Installation Set codewheel on shaft with disk facing base. Place spacer tool over codewheel with recess areas over connector and base tabs. Push tool down by hand until it bottoms out against base. Remove reusable spacer tool. In order to prevent permanent damage to motor bearings (especially on small diameter shaft motors), it is recommended that the far end (drive end) of the motor shaft be supported while installing the push on hub. 4. Cover Installation Snap cover onto base. Rev. 130115082731 E8P OEM Optical Kit Encoder Page 8 of 9 Accessories 1. Centering Tool The centering tool is only included with the -3 packaging option. It has to be ordered separately for other packaging options.
