1.1 Product Overview

1.2 Model Code Definition

• SX60: Series, housing size ≈ 60 mm

• 8: Wire diameter = 0.8 mm (stainless steel)

• H100: Measuring range = 0–100 mm

• 270: 270° mounting angle / wire exit direction

• MS: Multi-turn absolute (gear-based, no battery)

• RH: Right-hand wire exit / electrical interface on right

1.3 Safety Instructions

• Read this manual before installation and operation.

• Do not expose the encoder to strong vibration, shock, or direct moisture.

• Ensure stable power supply (10–30 VDC) and correct wiring.

• Do not disassemble the encoder; internal gears are precision-calibrated.

• Keep the measuring wire clean and free of debris; avoid kinking.

3. Installation

3.1 Mechanical Mounting

1. Mount the encoder on a flat, rigid surface using the 4 mounting holes (M4 screws).

2. Ensure the wire exit direction matches the installation (270°, RH).

3. Attach the wire end to the moving target; maintain straight wire path (no sharp bends).

4. Tension the wire gently; avoid over-tensioning (max 5 N).

3.2 Electrical Wiring (M12 5-pin)

4. Operation

4.1 Power-Up

• On power-up, the encoder immediately outputs the absolute linear position (no homing required).

• The internal gear mechanism retains position during power loss; no battery needed.

4.2 SSI Communication

• Clock Frequency: 100 kHz–1 MHz

• Data Format: 25-bit (13 bits single-turn + 12 bits multi-turn)

• Output Code: Binary (Gray code optional)

4.3 Calibration

• Factory-calibrated; no user calibration required.

• For field adjustment, use the zero-set function (via SSI command or optional teach button).

5. Maintenance

• Regular Inspection: Check wire tension, cleanliness, and connector tightness monthly.

• Wire Replacement: If damaged, replace with original Ø0.8 mm stainless steel wire.

• Cleaning: Wipe housing with dry cloth; avoid solvents.

• Lubrication: Internal gears are pre-lubricated; no additional lubrication needed.
