Quick Assembly Two and Three Channel Optical Encoders Data Sheet The HEDS-5500/5540, HEDS-5600/5640, HEDM-5500/5540 and HEDM-5600 are high performance, low cost, two and three channel optical incremental encoders. These encoders emphasize high reliability, high resolution, and easy assembly. • Two channel quadrature output with optional index Each encoder contains a lensed LED source, an integrated circuit with detectors and output circuitry, and a codewheel which rotates between the emitter and detector IC. The outputs of the HEDS-5500/5600 and HEDM-5500/ 5600 are two square waves in quadrature. The HEDS-5540/5640 and HEDM-5540 also have a third channel index output in addition to the two channel quadrature. This index output is a 90 electrical degree, high true index pulse which is generated once for each full rotation of the codewheel. • External mounting ears available The HEDS series utilizes metal codewheels, while the HEDM series utilizes a film codewheel allowing for resolutions to 1024 CPR. The HEDS-5500, 5540, 5600, 5640, and the HEDM-5500, 5540,5600 provide motion detection at a low cost, making them ideal for high volume applications. Typical applications include printers, plotters, tape drives, positioning tables, and automatic handlers. These encoders may be quickly and easily mounted to a motor. For larger diameter motors, the HEDM-5600, and HEDS-5600/5640 feature external mounting ears. The quadrature signals and the index pulse are accessed through five 0.025 inch square pins located on 0.1 inch centers. Standard resolutions between 96 and 1024 counts per revolution are presently available. Consult local Avago sales representatives for other resolutions. pulse • Quick and easy assembly • No signal adjustment required • Low cost • Resolutions up to 1024 counts per revolution • Small size –40°C to 100°C operating temperature • TTL compatible • Single 5 V supply Note: Avago Technologies encoders are not recommended for use in safety critical applications. Eg. ABS braking systems, power steering, life support systems and critical care medical equipment. Please contact sales representative if more clarification is needed. ESD WARNING: NORMAL HANDLING PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID STATIC DISCHARGE.

The HEDS-5500/5540, HEDS-5600/5640, HEDM-5500/5540 and HEDM-5600 translate the rotary motion of a shaft into either a two- or a three-channel digital output. Count (N): The number of bar and window pairs or counts per revolution (CPR) of the codewheel. As seen in the block diagram, these encoders contain a single Light Emitting Diode (LED) as its light source. The light is collimated into a parallel beam by means of a single polycarbonate lens located directly over the LED. Opposite the emitter is the integrated detector circuit. This IC consists of multiple sets of photodetectors and the signal...

Mounting Considerations The HEDS-5540 and 5640 three channel encoders and the HEDM Series high resolution encoders must be aligned using the aligning pins as specified in Figure 3, or using the HEDS-8910 Alignment Tool as shown in Encoder Mounting and The use of aligning pins or alignment tool is recommended but not required to mount the HEDS-5500and 5600. If these two channel encoders are attached to a motor with the screw sizes and mounting tolerances specified in the mechanical characteristics section without any additional mounting bosses, the encoder output errors will be within the maximums...
