Safe and precise, Safe, highly available signal transmission, Quick installation, less downtime – Baumer HOG86 User Manual
Page 3: Perfect signal quality, Proven sensing technique

Safe, highly available 
signal transmission
Products with fi ber optic output are ideal when it 
comes to reliable signal transmission up to 1500 m 
distance - especially in environments with electromag-
netic interference.
Encoder with outdoor-capable fi ber optic output
Absolutely reliable signal transmission and quality 
by two redundant fi ber optic outputs
Long-distance transmission at minimized wiring 
effort
Reduced installation work
The ideal solution in metal and steel processing, 
at cranes and lifting platforms, in wind turbines or 
very spacious systems
HOG 86 M – redundant 
signals for ultimate safety 
and availability
Two-channel detection of relative position or rotation speed 
using two independent signal outputs will immediately 
identify any machine or system error. HOG 86 M hosts two 
sensing systems which are fully independent from each other. 
As an option, redundant EMS functionality will additionally 
monitor the two sensing systems which makes HOG 86 M the 
product of fi rst choice in safety-relevant applications.
Safe and precise.
Quick installation, 
less downtime
The optional Enhanced Monitoring System (EMS) monitors 
vital encoder functionalities throughout the entire speed 
range, eases error tracing and signifi cantly cuts down 
expensive downtime. The multicolor LED provided at the 
encoder signals proper encoder supply and output driver 
operation as well as encoder signal integrity. The error out-
put reports the encoder activity status. The EMS monitoring 
functionality will signal connection errors right away during 
installation and reduce commissioning times.
Perfect signal quality
High-performance, resilient output drivers ensure top signal 
quality over 500 m (TTL) respectively 300 m (HTL) cable 
routing.
Proven sensing technique
The interference-immune optical sensing technology by 
highly integrated OptoASIC defi es major temperature fl uc-
tuations and harsh ambient conditions for consistently high 
signal qualitiy and precise measuring results.
