Ratings and Specifications
Note: Origin Indication
The following illustration shows the relationship between phase Z and the origin. Set cut face D to the phase Z origin as shown in the illustration.
*1. An inrush current of approximately 9 A will flow for approximately 0.3 ms when the power is turned ON.
*2. The line driver output is a data transmission circuit compatible with RS-422A and long-distance transmission is possible with a twisted-pair cable.(AM26LS31
equivalent)
*3. The maximum electrical response speed is determined by the resolution and maximum response frequency as follows:
This means that the E6C2-C Rotary Encoder will not operate electrically if its speed exceeds the maximum electrical response speed.

Safety Precautions
Refer to Warranty and Limitations of Liability.
This product is not designed or rated for ensuring
safety of persons either directly or indirectly.
Do not use it for such purposes.
Do not use the Encoder under ambient conditions that exceed the
ratings.
Wiring
Cable Extension Characteristics
When the cable length is extended, the output waveform startup
time is lengthened and it affects the phase difference
characteristics of phases A and B. Conditions will change
according to frequency, noise, and other factors. As a guideline,
use a cable length of 10 m* or less. If the cable must be more than
2 m, use a Model with a Line-driver Output (max. length for line-
driver output: 100 m).
* Recommended Cable
Conductor cross section: 0.2 mm2
Spiral shield
Conductor resistance: 92 /km max. (20°C)
Insulation resistance: 5 /km min. (20°C)
The output waveform startup time changes not only according to
the length of the cable, but also according to the load resistance
and the cable type.
Extending the cable length not only changes the startup time, but
also increases the output residual voltage.
Connection
Spurious pulses may be generated when power is turned ON and
OFF. Wait at least 0.1 s after turning ON the power to the Encoder
before using the connected device, and stop using the connected
device at least 0.1 s before turning OFF the power to the Encoder.
Also, turn ON the power to the load only after turning ON the power
to the Encoder.

machine, system, or other application or use.
The following are some examples of applications for which particular attention must be given. This is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all possible
uses of the products, nor is it intended to imply that the uses listed may be suitable for the products:
Outdoor use, uses involving potential chemical contamination or electrical interference, or conditions or uses not described in this catalog.
Nuclear energy control systems, combustion systems, railroad systems, aviation systems, medical equipment, amusement machines, vehicles,
safety equipment, and installations subject to separate industry or government regulations.
Systems, machines, and equipment that could present a risk to life or property.
Please know and observe all prohibitions of use applicable to the products.
NEVER USE THE PRODUCTS FOR AN APPLICATION INVOLVING SERIOUS RISK TO LIFE OR PROPERTY WITHOUT ENSURING THAT THE
SYSTEM AS A WHOLE HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO ADDRESS THE RISKS, AND THAT THE OMRON PRODUCTS ARE PROPERLY RATED AND
INSTALLED FOR THE INTENDED USE WITHIN THE OVERALL EQUIPMENT OR SYSTEM.

OMRON shall not be responsible for the user's programming of a programmable product, or any consequence thereof.
Disclaimers
CHANGE IN SPECIFICATIONS
Product specifications and accessories may be changed at any time based on improvements and other reasons.
It is our practice to change model numbers when published ratings or features are changed, or when significant construction changes are made.
However, some specifications of the products may be changed without any notice. When in doubt, special model numbers may be assigned to fix or
establish key specifications for your application on your request. Please consult with your OMRON representative at any time to confirm actual
specifications of purchased products.
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHTS
Dimensions and weights are nominal and are not to be used for manufacturing purposes, even when tolerances are shown.
PERFORMANCE DATA
Performance data given in this catalog is provided as a guide for the user in determining suitability and does not constitute a warranty. It may represent the
result of OMRON’s test conditions, and the users must correlate it to actual application requirements. Actual performance is subject to the OMRON
Warranty and Limitations of Liability.
