ATOM linear encoder system
PCB mounting: connecting a cable variant ATOM readhead
Shielding
For optimum performance:
• Ensure 100% shielding
• Ground the mounting brackets
• Use a metal clamp around the cable ferrule to ground the readhead cable
• Ensure continuity of all shields
• Maximise the distance between the encoder and motor cables
• Provide appropriate strain relief at the readhead and interface
• The ACi should be contained within a shielded enclosure
• Ensure suitable clamping to retain interboard connector to the mating connector
