Electrical Interface
To insure reliable encodingperformance, the HEDS-5540/5640 and HEDM-5540 three channel encoders require 2.7 kΩ (±
10%) pull-up resistors on output pins 2, 3, and 5 (Channels I, A, and B) as shown in Figure 1. These pull-up resistors should
be located as close to the encoder as possible (within 4 feet). Each of the three encoder outputs can drive a single TTL
load in this conguration. The HEDS-5500, 5600, and HEDM-5500, 5600 two channel encoders do not normally require
pull-up resistors. However, 3.2 kΩ pull-up resistors on output pins 3 and 5 (Channels A and B) are recommended to
improve rise times, especially when operating above 100 kHz frequencies.

Notes:
1. These are tolerances required of the user.
2. The HEDS-55x5 and 56x5, HEDM-5505, 5605 provide an 8.9 mm (0.35 inch) diameter hole through the housing for longer motor shafts. See
Ordering Information.
3. The HEDS-5540 and 5640 must be aligned using the aligning pins as specied in Figure 3, or using the alignment tool as shown in “Encoder
Mounting and Assembly”. See also “Mounting Considerations.”
4. The recommended mounting screw torque for 2 screw and external ear mounting is 1.0 kg-cm (0.88 in-lbs). The recommended mounting screw
torque for 3 screw mounting is 0.50 kg-cm (0.43 in-lbs).
