Data Sheet
HEDM-55xx/560x HEDS-550x/554x, HEDS-560x/564x
Description
Features
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.
x 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.
x 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.

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.
Standard resolutions between 96 and 1024 counts per
revolution are presently available. Consult local Avago
sales representatives for other resolutions.

Theory of Operation
Definitions
The HEDS-5500, 5540, 5600, 5640, and HEDM-5500, 5540,
5600 translate the rotary motion of a shaft into either a
two- or a three-channel digital output.
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 processing circuitry necessary to produce the
digital waveforms.
Count (N): The number of bar and window pairs or counts
per revolution (CPR) of the codewheel.
The codewheel rotates between the emitter and detector,
causing the light beam to be interrupted by the pattern
of spaces and bars on the codewheel. The photodiodes which detect these interruptions are arranged in a
pattern that corresponds to the radius and design of the
codewheel. These detectors are also spaced such that a
light period on one pair of detectors corresponds to a
dark period on the adjacent pair of detectors. The photodiode outputs are then fed through the signal processing
circuitry resulting in A, A, B and B (also I and I in the HEDS5540/5640 and HEDM-5540). Comparators receive these
signals and produce the final outputs for channels A and
B. Due to this integrated phasing technique, the digital
output of channel A is in quadrature with that of channel
B (90 degrees out of phase).
In the HEDS-5540/5640 and HEDM-5540, the output of
the comparator for I and I is sent to the index processing
circuitry along with the outputs of channels A and B.
The final output of channel I is an index pulse PO which
is generated once for each full rotation of the codewheel.
This output PO is a one state width (nominally 90 electrical degrees), high true index pulse which is coincident
with the low states of channels A and B.
One Cycle (C): 360 electrical degrees (°e), 1 bar and window
pair.
One Shaft Rotation: 360 mechanical degrees, N cycles.
Position Error (∆Θ): The normalized angular difference
between the actual shaft position and the position
indicated by the encoder cycle count.
Cycle Error (∆C): An indication of cycle uniformity. The
differ¬ence between an observed shaft angle which
gives rise to one electrical cycle, and the nominal angular
increment of 1/N of a revolution.
Pulse Width (P): The number of electrical degrees that an
output is high during 1 cycle. This value is nominally 180°e
or 1/2 cycle.
Pulse Width Error ( ∆P): The deviation, in electrical degrees, of
the pulse width from its ideal value of 180°e.
State Width (S): The number of electrical degrees between a
transition in the output of channel A and the neighbouring transition in the output of channel B. There are 4 states
per cycle, each nominally 90°e.
State Width Error ( ∆S): The deviation, in electrical degrees, of
each state width from its ideal value of 90°e.
Phase (φ): The number of electrical degrees between the
center of the high state of channel A and the center of the
high state of channel B. This value is nominally 90°e for
quadrature output.
Phase Error (∆φ): The deviation of the phase from its ideal
value of 90°e.

Notes:
1. These are tolerances required of the user.
2. The HEDS-55X5 and 56X5, HEDM-5505, 5605 provide an 8.9 mm (0.35 inch) diameter hole through the housing for longer motor shafts. See
Ordering Information.
3. The HEDS-5540 and 5640 must be aligned using the aligning pins as specified in Figure 3, or using the alignment tool as shown in “Encoder
Mounting and Assembly”. See also “Mounting Considerations.”
4. The recommended mounting screw torque for 2 screw and external ear mounting is 1.0 kg-cm (0.88 in-lbs). The recommended mounting screw
torque for 3 screw mounting is 0.50 kg-cm (0.43 in-lbs).
Electrical Interface
To insure reliable encodingperformance, the HEDS5540/5640 and HEDM-5540 three channel encoders
require 2.7 kΩ (± 10%) pull-up resistors on output pins 2, 3,
and 5 (Channels I, A, and B) as shown in Figure 1. These pullup resistors should be located as close to the encoder as
possible (within 4 feet). Each of the three encoder outputs

can drive a single TTL load in this configuration. The HEDS5500, 5600, and HEDM-5500, 5600 two channel encoders
do not normally require pull-up resistors. However, 3.2
kΩ pull-up resistors on output pins 3 and 5 (Channels A
and B) are recommended to improve rise times, especially
when operating above 100 kHz frequencies.
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 Assembly.
The use of aligning pins or alignment tool is recommended but not required to mount the HEDS-5500 and 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
Figure 2. Mounting Holes.

additional mounting bosses, the encoder output errors
will be within the maximums specified in the encoding
characteristics section. The HEDS-5500 and 5540 can be
mounted to a motor using either the two screw or three
screw mounting option as shown in Figure 2. The optional
aligning pins shown in Figure 3 can be used with either
mounting option. The HEDS-5600, 5640, and HEDM-5600
have external mounting ears which may be used for
mounting to larger motor base plates. Figure 4 shows the
necessary mounting holes with optional aligning pins and
motor boss.
Figure 3. Optional Mounting Aids.
Encoder Mounting and Assembly
1a. For HEDS-5500 and 5600: Mount encoder base plate
onto motor. Tighten screws. Go on to step 2.
1b. For HEDS-5540, 5640 and HEDM-5500, 5600, 5540 :
Slip alignment tool onto motor shaft. With alignment
tool in place, mount encoder baseplate onto motor
as shown above. Tighten screws. Remove alignment
tool.
1c. It is recommended that adhesive* is applied to the
screw-baseplate interface to prevent screw loosening
due to effect of high temperature on plastic
2.
Snap encoder body onto base plate locking all 4
snaps.
3a. Push the hex wrench into the body of the encoder to
ensure that it is properly seated into the code wheel
hub set screws. Then apply a downward force on the
end of the hex wrench. This sets the code wheel gap
by levering the code wheel hub to its upper position.
3b. While continuing to apply a downward force, rotate
the hex wrench in the clockwise direction until the
hub set screw is tight against the motor shaft (The
recommended torque to tighten the setscrew is 1518 ozf.inch). The hub set screw attaches the code
wheel to the motor’s shaft.
3c. Remove the hex wrench by pulling it straight out of
the encoder body.
4.
Use the center screwdriver slot, or either of the two
side slots, to rotate the encoder cap dot clockwise
from the one dot position to the two dot position. Do
not rotate the encoder cap counterclockwise beyond
the one dot position.
The encoder is ready for use!
