3.6 ENCODER INSTALLATION
1) AC4 card is fit for different types of encoder. To control AC motor with Zapi inverter, it
is necessary to install an incremental encoder with 2 phases shifted of 90°. The en-
coder power supply can be +5 or +12V. It can have different electronic output.

E1 A20 +5V/+12V positive of encoder power supply.
E2 A23 GND negative of encoder power supply.
E3 A21 A phase A of encoder.
E4 - A phase A inverted (encoder with differential output).
E5 A22 B phase B of encoder.
E6 - B phase B inverted (encoder with differential output).
2) Connection of encoder with differential outputs; +5V power supply (Minifit connectors).
3) Connection of encoder with open collector output; +5V power supply (Minifit connec-
tors)..
4) Connection of encoder with open collector output: +12V power supply (Minifit connec-
tors).
VERY IMPORTANT
It is necessary to specify in the order the type of encoder used, in terms of power
supply, electronic output and n° of pulses for revolution, because the logic unit
must be set in the correct way by Zapi.
