Mercury II 5000 Series Encoders
Installation Manual and Reference Guide
Sensor mounted to poorly-grounded or non-conducting surface
6.4 Customer Interface
Cable Requirements
Customer cables that interface to Mercury II series encoders must have the following
characteristics:
Twisted pair signals wiring.
Characteristic impedance of 100-120 ohms.
Sufficient wire gauge to meet the minimum voltage requirement at the encoder. For
example: 24AWG gauge wire for a 2m length cable. Recommended cables are 24AWG
gauge wire with 6 twisted pairs.
Single shield cable with a minimum of 90% coverage. Note that a double shielded cable
may be required in high-noise applications.
Signal Wiring for A-quad-B
Each differential signal should be connected to a corresponding twisted pair as follows for the 15-
pin standard male D-sub connector:
Note: The Alarm signal on pin 15 is not differential and is not part of a pair.
