Problems with the KoP Encoder

Hello all,
Our team has encounterd a problem with the KoP Encoder. after mounting it on the Andymark Toughbox and wiring it, it worked fine atleast for a few mintues. After a while we noticed the values of the Encoder ranges from -0.25 to 0 and the direction changed from true to false all the time. We tried checking the Toughbox but couldnt find any problems, than we saw the Disc on the shaft of the toughbox was spinning along with the shaft. Our mentor told us this isnt wrong and we should look for Information on how to prevent it from happening but we couldnt find any.

Anyone could help us with either insight on our problem or a solution?
Thanks in advanced,

P.S
We proggramed the cRIO in LabView and checked the encoder with both the sample file and our own proggram.
