*1. An inrush current of approximately 8 A will flow for approximately 0.3 ms when the power is turned ON.
*2. The maximum electrical response speed is determined by the resolution and maximum response frequency as
follows:

This means that the Rotary Encoder will not operate electrically if its speed exceeds the maximum electrical
response speed.
*3. No protection is provided against water or oil.
