Measurement Units 

The different measurement units displayed on the Readout are user 
configurable. The table below provides a matrix for selecting the measurement 
units that may be displayed when pressing the 

UNITS

 key. 

Use

 

Programming Parameter (Pr11)

 

to set this value.

Key Lock  

The Readout provides a function that can “lock-out” the position adjustment 
keys (

+, 

DATUM

 

&

 

) to prevent accidental changes of the displayed value.   

 

To activate Key Lock:  

Press and Hold

  the 

ON

/

OFF

 key and, while pressing it, 

Momentarily

 depress the 

UNITS

 key, now release both keys.  The word 

LOCK

 

will be displayed in the upper left corner of the LCD.   

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

When 

LOCK

 is displayed on the LCD, the 

+, 

DATUM

 

and

  

  keys will not 

function to change the readout.  To de-activate the Key Lock:  

Press and Hold

  

the 

ON

/

OFF

 key and, while pressing it, 

Momentarily

 depress the 

UNITS

 key, now 

release both keys.  Key Lock may also be enabled through Readout 
Programming. This method allows a more permanent Key Lock since 
programming can be disabled with a hardware jumper inside the Readout.  

 

See

 

Programming Parameter (Pr3)

 

to enable this function.`

 

 

Linear Scaling 

This function is useful when the actual measurement or position must be 
multiplied or divided before being displayed on the Readout.  
This function has a range of  0.0001 to 9.9999 allowing the actual measured 
value to be multiplied or divided in very small or very large increments. 

See

 

Programming Parameter (Pr13

) f

or additional information.

 

Use care when enabling this function.  It will force the readout to display a value 
different from the actual measurement or position.

Momentarily Press  

Press & Hold
