When you specify custom types (custom-made), new tooling and jigs, and/or equipment may be required. It will be necessary to confirm your estimates of quantity and development schedule as accurately as possible. 2. Please inform us if you designate your own part number. ✽ Previous notations for potentiometer shape “Stand-up type” (Shaft is parallel to PWB.) and “Lay-down type” (Shaft is vertical to PWB.) – have been changed in this edition to “Horizontal type” or “Side-adjust type” (Shaft or knob is parallel to PWB.) and “Vertical type” or “Top-adjust type” (Shaft or knob is ver tical to PWB.). Design and specifications are each subject to change without notice. Ask factory for the current technical specifications before purchase and/or use. Should a safety concern arise regarding this product, please be sure to contact us immediately. – EV36 – 00 Sep. 2010 Encoders ■ 4. For use in equipment for which safety is requested Application Notes Although care is taken to ensure encoder quality, infe ri or characteristics, short circuits, and open circuits are some problems that might be generated. To design a set which places maximum emphasis on safety, review the affect of any single fault of a encoder in advance and perform virtually fail-safe design to ensure maximum safety by: 1. preparing a protective circuit or a protective device to improve system safety, and 2. preparing a redundant circuit to improve system safety so that the single fault of a encoder does not cause a dangerous situation. When using our Encoders, please observe the following cautionary items to prevent dangerous accidents and deterioration of performance. 1. Prohibited items and notes in design stage 1. Soldering conditions W hen per forming solder dipping, check the soldering conditions according to the Individual “Product Specifi cations,” because the conditions vary from product to product. Do not wash an encoder after solder dipping because flux may invade the encoder, resulting in contact failure. Avoid use of jumper cables near the encoders because flux may get to them. 2. Shaft rotation wobble If the shaft is long, the rotation wobble increases in proportion to its length. To secure the quality of a set, we recommend use of the types with a bushing. 3. Operating temperature conditions Tactile feeling in operation is given serious consideration, and rotation torque increases under low temperatures (below –10 °C) depending on the product. If a encoder is expected to be used under low temperatures, specify this in advance. 5. For actual use, be sure to refer to “Product Specifications for information.” 2. Prohibited items and notes on handling 1. Chemical resistance Before using a potentiometer with an insulated shaft, be sure to check the reactivity of the shaft with any chemicals to be used. 2. Storage conditions Do not store the encoders under high temperatures and /or high humidit y, or in a location where corrosive gas may be generated. Store the encoders at room temperature and room humidity in a packed condition. Use them within a maximum of 6 months. Check the date of manufacture on the package box and apply the “fi rst-in-fi rst-out” rule. If unpacked encoders must be stored as inventory, store them in a polyethylene bag to keep out air. 3. Prohibited items on fire and smoking 1. Absolutely avoid use of a encoder beyond its rated range because it may cause a fire. If misuse or abnormal use may result in conditions in which the encoder is used out of its rated range, take proper measures such as current interruption using a protective circuit. 2. The grade of nonfl ammability for resin used in encoders is “94HB,” which is based on UL94 Standards (fl ammability test for plastic materials). Prohibit use in a location where a spreading fi re may be generated or prepare against a spreading fire. Design and specifications are each subject to change without notice. Ask factory for the current technical specifications before purchase and/or use. Should a safety concern arise regarding this product, please be sure to contact us immediately. – EV37 – 00 Sep. 2010
