LS 487C configuration: HEIDENHAIN identifies LS 487C as the distance-coded-reference-mark version of LS 487 in its linear encoder brochure and mounting drawing. Confirm the reference marks, measuring length, 1 VPP interface, connector and exact ID before a repair, replacement or sourcing quote; LS 487 and LS 487C should not be assumed interchangeable.
