    Reinshaw RGH41 linear encoder limits termination

    Hi all,

    Can someone tell me if the wiring connection is correct?

    P (Pos Limit)------(-ve of opto coupler)
    +5VDC------------(+ of opto coupler)

    If I connect up this way, by default (no limit) my opto coupler is light up and when limit is hit, my opto coupler is off.

    Rgds.

    RGH41 linear encoder system

    P and Q(Neg Limit) are open collector outputs, does it mean I need put a
    pull up resistor (5kohm) to 5VDC?
