MicroE Mercury II 6000V - Manual (Page 2)

MicroE Systems was founded to advance encoder technology to a level never
before achieved. Our objective was to design encoder systems that would be
small enough to fit into densely packed OEM equipment designs, affordable
enough for cost-sensitive applications and easy enough to enable installation,
setup and alignment by assemblers with little training. We are pleased to say that
all of these goals have been realized with the introduction of the original
Mercury
TM family of encoder systems. Now, the Mercury II series offers all of that
plus improved performance, ease of use and versatility.

Follow standard ESD precautions. Turn power off before connecting the sen-
sor. Do not touch the electrical pins without static protection such as a ground-
ed wrist strap.
Do not touch the glass scale unless you are wearing talc-free gloves or finger
cots. Please read this installation manual for full instructions.

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, 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 1040.10 and 1040.11 and for providing the user with all necessary safety warnings and
information.
MicroE 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, the encoder sensor should be installed in its operational configuration in
close proximity to the encoder scale before power is applied.
• Invisible laser radiation; wavelength: 850 nm
• Max power 2.4 mW CW (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.
