ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
STEP 1
STEP 2
1. Begin by rotating the pre-installed alignment tool clockwise and completely to the right so
that the pre-installed shaft set screw is visible.
1. Slide the encoder onto the motor shaft applying force only to the placement tool to maintain
proper alignment of the encoder’s hub and shaft adapter.
2. Select the appropriately sized shaft adapter and insert it into the encoder making sure the
adapter is properly aligned with the keyway in the metal hub. No adapter is needed for a
5/8” motor shaft.
2.
3. Select the placement tool and insert it into the encoder. This placement tool holds the
encoder’s hub and shaft adapter in the proper position for installation onto the motor shaft.
4. Insert screws and fasten the encoder to the motor.
3. Once in contact with the motor body, rotate the encoder until the mounting holes are aligned
with the proper bolt circle.
STEP 3
1. Insert the Allen Wrench into the notch on the top.
2. Tighten the shaft set screw to the recommended torque settings per the spec.
STEP 4
1. Rotate the placement tool and alignment tool counterclockwise until the tabs align
with the openings.
2. Remove both tools from the encoder.
3.

APPLICATION NOTES
SERIAL INTERFACE
The AMT13 series encoder is designed to operate with a serial UART interface. This interface allows the encoder to be configured and programmed by
the AMT Viewpoint™ application. Along with programming, the AMT Viewpoint™ application uses the serial interface for diagnostics and index alignment.
Below are instructions on how to use the serial interface for position zeroing.
Table 1
Serial Commands
Command
Action
Use
0
This command sends an ascii ‘0’ (hex value
0x30).
This zeros the encoder and sets the index at the current angular position. This
position is stored in non-volatile memory and will remain present until a zero
command is set again or encoder is reprogrammed via AMT Viewpoint™.
Q
This command sends an ascii ‘Q’ (hex value
0x51).
This command restarts the encoder as if it were power cycled.
Table 2
Serial Pins
Pin
Description
Connection
TX_ENC+
This is the pin that the encoder transmits
serial data on.
Connect this pin to the receiver input of your serial/UART interface.
RX_ENC+
This is the pin that the encoder receives
serial commands on.
Connect this pin to your serial/UART interface transmitter output.
MCLRB
This pin is used to force the encoder into
reset for reprogramming via the AMT
Viewpoint™ application.
Connection of this pin is not required for the above serial commands.
The serial interface operates at 115200 baud with 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit, and 1 start bit. This is the standard UART protocol. Data lines
TX_ENC+ and RX_ENC+ are high when inactive.
