4 E6C2-C Incremental Rotary Encoder
Operation
Output Circuit Diagram
Note: 1. The shield is not connected to the internal circuits or casing of the E6C2-C.
2. There is no difference in circuit among phases A, B, and Z.
3. Connect the GND terminal to 0 V or the ground when the E6C2-C is in normal operation.

Note: Phase A is 1/4±1/8T faster than phase B. The ONs in the above
timing chart mean that the output transistor is ON and the OFFs
mean that the output transistor is OFF.
Note: Phase A is 1/4±1/8T slower than phase B.
