Installation Guidelines

• Handling: As this is an older module, ensure proper static discharge protection during handling and installation.
• Mounting: Ensure the module is securely seated in the designated WS series rack slot to maintain proper electrical contact on the backplane.
• Compatibility: Verify that the system software and CPU support the WF 726A module before integration.
• Connections: Ensure shielded cabling is used for encoder connections to prevent signal noise from affecting the precision of the positioning data.
