Hi Graham,

By way of background, the encoders have two output channels known as A & B.
As the encoder rotates, these two output channels change state in a very specific way.
If one of the two channels, either A or B, had an open circuit, you may see the
display alternate between just two values. Re-seating the plugs or blowing out
any debris in the coupling receptacle may have been enough to do the trick.

If you need further help, please don't hesitate to drop me a line.

Best Regards
