Improving Encoder Cable Noise Resistance
Take the following steps during wiring and installation to improve the encoder's noise resistance.
• Always use the specified Encoder Cables.
• If cables are joined midway, be sure to use connectors and do not remove more than 50 mm of
the cable insulation. In addition, always use shielded cables.
• Do not coil cables. If cables are long and are coiled, mutual induction and inductance will increase
and cause malfunctions. Always use cables fully extended.
• When installing noise filters for Encoder Cables, use clamp filters.
• The following table shows the recommended clamp filters.
• Do not place the Encoder Cable with the following cables in the same duct: Control Cables for
brakes, solenoids, clutches, and valves.
