will occur.
Handling
Turn the operation power on or off instantaneously via a contact such
as a switch or relay.
Avoid operation in the following environments:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
An ambient temperature below -10°C or above 55°C.
Very dusty locations.
Very humid locations.
Locations where corrosive gasses are generated.
Locations with heavy vibrations or shock.
Locations prone to water or oil.
Locations with direct sunlight.
For operation in environments with excessive electrical noise generation, separate the Encoder cords and the main unit of the H8PS from
high-power cables that have noise or noise-generating sources.
Angle Data Table
The H8PS uses an absolute Encoder with 256 divisions per revolution. To assist with programming, displays and settings may be done

Noise and surge protection
The external finish of the main unit is prone to organic solvents (thinner, benzene, etc.), strong alkali (ammonia, sodium hydroxide), and
strong acid. Please avoid contact with theses chemicals.
Store the devices between -25°C and 65°C. For storage below
−10°C, power the unit up after letting it stand at room temperature for
three hours.
To perform dielectric testing, impulse-voltage testing, and insulationresistance measuring between the electrical circuitry and the
uncharged metal parts when the unit is mounted in a control panel,
first disconnect the wiring of the unit from the circuitry. (This prevents
degradation of damage of internal circuitry in the event that part of
the control-panel equipment has faulty voltage resistance or faulty
insulation. The test voltage might go to the power-supply terminals of
the main unit.)
The Encoder consists of precision parts. Exercise care in handling,
and make sure no excessive shock or pressure is applied to the
Encoder. Especially make sure that the Encoder’s rotating shaft is
not subjected to excessive force.
The connections for the main unit connectors should have no undue
stress applied. Wire cables accordingly.

!WARNING
1. The H8PS has a built-in lithium battery. Be sure to dispose of
the old H8PS properly, as lithium batteries are likely to explode
if incinerated.
2. Electrical shock hazard
Never touch the input terminals of any H8PS Cam Positioner
when power is being applied to the Cam Positioner.
■ Rotary Encoder
Make sure that the E6CP Encoder is not subjected to oil or water. If
oil or water enters the interior, malfunctions may occur. For use in
environments subject to water drops or oil, use the E6F.
If you insert a coupling on the shaft, do not hammer on the coupling
or otherwise subject it to shock.
Make sure that there is no foreign matter in the Connector before
connecting the Encoder.
Mounting Procedure
Rotary Encoders consist of precision parts. Their operation may be
damaged if the Encoder is dropped. Be very careful with handling.
When joining to a chain, timing belt, or gears, interpose a coupling
and bearings before the Encoder.
Chain sprocket
Bearing
1. Place a coupling on the shaft.
Do not screw the coupling and shaft tight.
2. Fasten the Encoder.
Do not insert the shaft to the coupling more than the length shown
below.

Large mounting deviations (eccentric centers or angles) may cause
an excessive load on the Encoder’s shaft, resulting in damage or
drastically reduced life expectancy. Take care not to place excessive
loads on the shaft.
Keep the tightening torque around 0.49 N·m when fastening the
rotary Encoder.

Glossary
Electrical life expectancy
The life expectancy of a counter when the control output is operated
to switch a specified voltage/current load connected to the control
output.
External reset
To reset the counter by a required signal applied from an external
source to the reset input signal terminals of the counter.
Add input
Holding output
The control output of the counter without a self-resetting function.
The output is continuously held as long as the counter is not reset by
the power, external, manual, or electromagnetic reset.
Count value
Ambient temperature (operating)
The ambient temperature at which a device can be used in the continuously operated state.
Ambient temperature (storage)
The ambient temperature at which a device without power applied,
may be stored safely.
Automatic reset
To automatically return the counter to the „0“ state after the lapse of a
given time.
Counting capacity
The maximum value up to which the counter can count. The counting
capacity is usually expressed in decimal digits.
Count-up
The point in time or the state in which the output section of the
counter operates when the number of counts reaches the preset
value.
Dielectric strength
The maximum voltage a dielectric can withstand without being damaged.
Electromagnetic reset
To electromagnetically reset the counter by applying a reset signal.
Humidity
The ambient humidity at which a device can be used for continuous
operation.
Insulation resistance
The resistance offered by an insulating material to the flow of current
resulting from a DC voltage.
Life expectancy (mechanical)
The life expectancy of a counter when the control output of the
counter is operated without a load.
Manual reset
To mechanically reset the counter by manual means.
Maximum counting speed
The maximum counting speed at which the display or output section
of the counter operates accurately without miscounting. The maximum counting speed is expressed in units of counts per second
(cps).
Memory protective function during power failure
The function by which the number of counts at the time of a power
failure is memorized until power is again applied to the counter.
Operating mode
Control output patterns or display patterns that appear when counted
up to the value set by the preset counter.
Electromagnetic counter
A counter which performs counting by energizing or de-energizing
the built-in electromagnet.
N Mode
Electronic counter
A counter which mainly consists of transistors, ICs, micro-computers,
etc.

Counters
Addition-type (Up/Incrementing) counter
A counter having an add input and thus capable of counting in an
ascending order.
Glossary
ON-OFF ratio
The ratio of the ON signal time of a given input signal to the OFF signal time of the same input signal. The maximum counting speed of
each counter is determined by a counting input signal with an ONOFF ratio of 1:1.
Power consumption
The maximum wattage used by a device within its operating range at
the specified temperature and humidity.
Depending on the internal power circuit system of the model, both
apparent power and active power are indicated for the AC power
supply. Refer to the apparent power when designing a transformer.
Stage
Number of preset values that correspond with the number of control
outputs.

Count value
Control output 1
Preset solid-state counter
A counter whose control output operates when it counts up to the set
value and which employs a semiconductor circuit for the counting
element.
Control output 2
Subtraction-type (Down/Decrementing) counter
A counter with a subtract input and thus capable of counting in
descending order.

Readout counter
A counter in which an output signal is normally generated corresponding to the count value.
Reset
To restore the counting, display and output sections of the counter, to
their initial states.
Control input
Reversible-type counter
A counter with the capability of counting in an ascending or descending order, depending on the up-down inputs. Also called an up-down
counter.
Addition
Subtraction
There are several
input modes for
addition or
subtraction.
Count value
Power reset
To reset the counter by cutting off the operating supply voltage.
Self-reset
To reset the counter by a signal generated by internal circuitry.
Shock resistance (destruction)
The threshold of shock beyond which an abnormality is expected to
occur in the appearance or function of a device.
Shock resistance (malfunction)
The threshold of shock beyond which a device can be longer operate
properly according to prescribed ratings
C-172
Totalizing counter
A counter which indicates the total value of the counting inputs and is
not provided with a control output.
Vibration resistance (destruction)
The threshold of vibration beyond which an abnormality is expected
to occur in the appearance or function of a device.
Vibration resistance (malfunction)
The threshold of shock beyond which a device can be longer operate
properly by satisfying the prescribed ratings.
