Note: 1. The electrical maximum response rotation is determined with the rotation and maximum response frequency by using the
following formula.
Electrical maximum response rotation (rpm)= Maximum response frequency 60
Resolution
Therefore, no signal can follow electrically if the actual rotation exceeds the maximum response rotation.
2. The E6A2 is not water or oil-resistive.
3. An inrush current of approximately 9 A flows for approximately 0.3 ms when the E6A2 is turned ON.

Mounting Procedure
1 Insert the shaft into the Coupling. If there is a difference in angle or position between the shaft and the
other shaft connected, an excessive load that may damage the
shaft will be imposed on the shaft. Make sure that the shaft is con-
nected properly.
