Safety Precautions
Refer to Warranty and Limitations of Liability.
This product is not designed or rated for ensuring
safety of persons either directly or indirectly.
Do not use it for such purposes.
Do not use the Encoder under ambient conditions that exceed the ratings.
● Wiring
Spurious pulses may be generated when power is turned ON and
OFF. Wait at least 0.1 s after turning ON the power to the Encoder
before using the connected device, and stop using the connected
device at least 0.1 s before turning OFF the power to the Encoder.
Also, turn ON the power to the load only after turning ON the power
to the Encoder.

Output transistor
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: 1. The white and orange wires
of Single Models (E6A2-
CS@@) do not output
signals (no connection).
2. The white and orange wires
of Single Models (E6A2-

signals (no connection).
3. Voltage Output Models are
capable of sinking a
maximum current of 20 mA.
