The EPC 220C/230 Encoder User Manual provides specifications, wiring diagrams, and installation instructions for the 220C and 230 series encoders.
The EPC 220C/230 encoders are through‑shaft, all‑metal devices offering orthogonal quadrature square‑wave outputs. The 220C model provides a fixed direction output, while the 230 model includes forward/reverse selection and a 6‑wire cable option.
The manual lists electrical and mechanical parameters such as input voltage, current limits, resolution, response frequency, maximum speed, and mounting dimensions, and includes wiring diagrams, accessory part numbers, and application guidance for speed feedback in motor control systems.
