Mesa thcad and mesa 7i76 physical connections

Hello I have a mesa 5i25 with mesa 7i76 doughter card and I am thinking of buying a mesa thcad for torch height control. I have read some post and manual but i can't realize how to wiring plasma cutter + thcad + 7i76.
what i don't realize is how to connect thcad out to encoder input.

FOUT-
FOUT+
FREF+
FREF-

I have attached a picture how I think to connect. plese let me know if I am wrong.
Thanks in advance.

FOUT+ to ENCA+
FOUT- to ENCA-
5V to 5V GND to GND
SHIELD to FRAME GND

what about FOUT+ and FOUT - ?. should I have to left them unconnected?

Thanks

Yep, not used

Oops ,sorry go that backwards
FREF+ and FREF - are not used FOUT+ and FOUT-

Ok I understand. thank you.
last question what mode should I use?

Encoder input mode: differential on single ended mode?

thanks.

better to use differential mode

I need some clarification..

1. The input voltage to Mesa THCAD-10 should be less than 10V, am I right??
2. The input to be taken across torch clamps?? I am going to use the attached machine.
3. In that case, what is the voltage expected there (I do not have any experience till date)??
4. And how to calculate the resistor both ohm and wattage??

Esab/Thermal Dynamics should be able to supply an automation Interface.

set it to 30:1 divider. Set Linuxcnc/mesa up for a 300v full scale, Then you won't need any scaling resistors.

Note Esab now  owns Thermal Dynamics the original manufacturer of your machine.

Dear PCW,

I understand your point and I will ask ESAB for sure.

But can you please answer for THCAD-10 ( I have already in stock, and THCAD 300 is not with me) and if ESAB fail to provide.
