Frequently Asked Questions about Rotary Encoders

The RP-1700 series rotary encoders have common COM and F.G.

By grounding F.G., the following effects can be obtained, which are expected to stabilize the operation of the rotary encoder and reduce the impact on external equipment.

• Preventing noise emitted from the encoder from being released outside the casing.
• Preventing external noise from entering the encoder.

When installing the rotary encoder, be sure to read the "Installation of the Rotary Encoder" section in the instruction manual thoroughly and follow the procedures and precautions.
