    Default Encoder wiring Question

    Hello all
    I am new to the CNC world and thought, what a better place to learn.
    I recently purchased an older Techno/Isel CNC router table and am upgrading all the electronics.

    I am building a new control box with 3 Gecko G320x drivers and a PMDX-126 break out board.
    The table has Techno/Isel servo motors with DRC TK731 8E21 500-B encoders.
    My problem is that I cant find any specs online showing what wire is what to connect the above encoders to the new Gecko drives.

    I have found some data sheets online for other DRC encoders showing the wire info and they all seem to have the same colour codes, but am a little leary to just wing it.

    So I thought I would use all of your experiences.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Cheers
    Wayne

    Red +v
    Orange A
    green /A
    Yellow B
    Blue /B
    Brown Z
    Gray /Z

    In addition these encoders are 5v dc suplied, so +V means +5V specificly
