Refer to the Mercury II 5000 Series Encoder data sheet for additional details on ordering parts.
1.2 Precautions
1. Follow standard ESD precautions. Turn power to off before connecting
the sensor.
2. Do not touch electrical pins without static protection such as a
grounded wrist strap.
1.3 Laser Safety Information
This product is sold solely for use as a component (or replacement) in an electronic product;
therefore, it is not required to, and does not comply with U.S. FDA 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11
which pertain to complete laser products. The manufacturer of the complete system-level
electronic product is responsible for complying with 21 CFR.
MicroE Systems encoders contain an infrared laser diode or diodes. Emitted invisible laser
radiation levels have been measured to be within the CDRH Class 1 range, which is not
considered hazardous; however, to minimize exposure to the diverging beam, install the encoder
sensor in its operational configuration in close proximity to the encoder scale before
applying power.

Invisible laser radiation; wavelength: 850 nm.

Maximum power of 4.8 mW CW for Mercury II.

Caution: The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard. Do
not view directly with optical instruments (microscopes, eye loupes, or magnifiers).

All maintenance procedures such as cleaning must be performed with the MicroE
encoder turned off.

Do not insert any reflective surface into the beam path when the encoder is powered.

Do not attempt to service the MicroE encoder.
