Bulletin No. ZLZ-B Drawing No. LP0734 Released 08/13 Tel +1 (717) 767-6511 Fax +1 (717) 764-0839 www.redlion.net MODEL ZLZ - LINEAR CABLE ENCODER (Replaces MODEL LES) LOW COST LINEAR SOLUTION 50 OR 500 PULSES PER INCH STAINLESS STEEL CABLE 0 TO 50 INCHES OF CABLE MEASUREMENT VARIOUS CABLE ASSEMBLIES AVAILABLE DESCRIPTION SPECIFICATIONS The Linear Cable Encoder can provide an accurate, yet low cost solution for Linear Measurement applications. Common applications include robotics, extrusion presses, valve positioning, textile machinery, and gate control positioning, just to name a few. The ZLZ has some unique advantages over other sensing solutions. Using a stainless steel cable, perfect parallel alignment is no longer required and with a 50 inch cable reach, it can easily be mounted away from harsh environments. The ZLZ is available in a quadrature output, allowing the sensor to operate in positioning applications. Additional cable exit configurations, pulses per inch, and mating connectors are available on special request. Contact the factory for details. ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS 1.

RISE TIME: Less than 1 µsec Open Collector Output Wiring MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS The ZLZ sensors have open collector outputs. An open collector output brings the uncommitted collector of the encoder switching device to the external world. Because the collector element is not associated with the sensor supply voltage, the sensor output collector may be “pulled up” to external voltages (40 VDC max.) different than the encoder supply voltage . NPN open collector outputs are current sinking devices. An output signal will not be generated unless a pull-up resistor is connected from the open-collector to the positive side of an external supply. The same supply can be used for powering the unit and for the pull-up resistor. 1. FULL STROKE LENGTH (FSL): 50" standard. 2. FINISH: Black powder coated aluminum 3. ACCURACY: ±0.10% FSL 4.
