[Emc-users] Anilam linear encoder output voltage <1v... any ideas?

[Pat L. <p2...@gm...>]

Hey folks,

just inquiring about the output of my anilam linear encoder being less than
one volt in amplitude...  a full 5v is applied, but the pulses coming out
only hit like 0.3v    I pulled apart the connector to find some oil in
between the pins but wiped it out and still have the same problem.

I'd like to ask, when/if encoders begin to die or deteriorate, do they
behave like this?
I'm gonna do wiring checks to make sure there isnt a voltage drop occuring
across a single strand of crushed wire or anything... but i suspect that
quiiiiite unlikely.
thanks!
