RoboteQ AX2550/2850 user manual Position of Encoder Module on Controller’s main board

Installing, Connecting and Using the Encoder Mod-

When installing yourself, follow these simple steps

1- With the power removed, remove controller’s face plate and slide off the cover

2- Carefully insert the encoder module on top of the two headers present on the control- ler’s main board and shown in Figure 80. Beware that the two matting connectors are pre- cisely aligned

3- The encoder module will be held in place by the connectors and the new front bracket’s opening around the RJ11 connector. For added stability, place the foam pad on top of the Encoder module as shown in Figure 81 so that it is held in place by the sliding cover. For use in harsh shock and vibration environment, you may instead solder a metal wire inside the 0.1” hole found on the main board (next to one of the two header) and solder the other en inside the matching hole on the encoder module, as shown on Figure 82.
