CAUTION 
 
Electrostatically sensitive devices  
Electronic modules contain components that can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge. 
These modules can be easily destroyed if they are not handled properly. 
To protect your equipment against damage, follow the instructions given in the chapter ESD 
Guidelines. 
 
Removal 
1.  Disconnect the motor 
2.  Remove the four encoder fixing screws 
3.  Remove the encoder 
 
Installation 
1.  Attach the coupling element onto the encoder shaft 
2.  Align the coupling element with the coupling half on the motor 
3.  Attach the encoder at this position on the motor shaft 
4.  Secure the encoder with four screws (tightening torque: 2.5 to 3 Nm)
