The shield must be connected to the Universal Encoder Module to prevent noise interference.

Universal Encoder Module - Mechanical Installation

If you have ordered the Universal Encoder Module as a separate option module or removed the module you will need to mechanically install the module before operation.

Installation Guide

How to connect the Universal Encoder Module to the drive

  1. Place the Universal Encoder Module into the front of the drive as shown in the image to the right.

  2. Then once fitted into the front of the drive tighten the two screws on the module to secure it to the drive.

If the Module is fitted to the drive correctly when the drive has mains power the top LED should be Red.
