pressing 2 times

ENTER

RESET

it is possible to set the nominal value for tool 0 (for example the

radius of cutter 0), which is then confirmed by pressing

ENTER

RESET

Now

3U6

will appear which is the nominal value for tool 1 (for example the radius of cutter 1): set

the correct value and confirm with

ENTER

RESET

Finally

3U6

will appear which is the nominal value for tool 2 (for example the radius of cutter 2):

set the correct value and confirm with

ENTER

RESET

In practice

3U6

, and

3U6

are the nominal values associated to the three different tools

which are used.
As a special case, if

3U6

is set to zero,

3U6

and

3U6

are the values to display in origin 1 and in

origin 2 respectively.

ABS

REL

function:

Enables passing from an absolute to relative value; after pressing , the

displayed value is temporarily set to zero to measure a relative motion of the transducer. On the
display the

REL

icon indicates that the current display is relative to the reference point that has just

been created. Pressing again causes the absolute value to be displayed and the

ABS

icon will

appear.

mm/inch conversion:

Pressing

converts the measurement from millimeters to inches and

back. When in inch mode, the

INCH

icon will appear and the displayed value will have an additional

decimal place. When the parameter

QG(&

=4 the mm/inch conversion is not available.

Offset:

This parameter is added to or subtracted from the displayed value to correct it in case, for

example, of a tool change or to compensate tool wear. After setting a positive offset value, the
displayed value will be the measured value plus the offset value. After setting a negative offset
value, the displayed value will be the measured value minus the offset value.

Fast Offset

: After pressing

ENTER

RESET

2))6W

appears and by pressing two times

ENTER

RESET

it is possible to set directly the value to be displayed (use buttons

and confirm with

ENTER

RESET

). This function is useful if it is necessary to correct often the displayed value.

Count direction

Set out the count direction of the display, range allowed 0 or 1.

Adjustment of displayed value

After the installation of instrument on the machine and setting of all parameters, in order to visualize
on the display the correct value it is necessary to carry out the reset or preset.
Position the shaft in a point in which the correct measure that has to be visualized is known exactly
(for example the stroke end point) or measure the position in that point of the shaft. Program
parameter

W$6W,

with value 3 in the first digit on the right and exit programming.

Now press

ENTER

RESET

and

3U6W

will appear, press again 2 times

ENTER

RESET

and set the correct

value to display, then confirm with

ENTER

RESET

The display will now show the desired value.

If the required value is zero, instead of the preset function it is possible to use the reset function by
setting 1 in the first digit on the right in the

W$6W,

parameter so that pressing

ENTER

RESET

will bring

the displayed value to zero.
Now that the instrument is adjusted, it is necessary to insert the desired

W$6W,

parameter to avoid

accidental reset/preset of the displayed value.

Battery replacement

The instrument is supplied with a ½AA 3,6V lithium battery, which assures a typical functioning of
approximately 4 years.
When the battery runs down, an icon appears on the display.
To enter into the battery-holder it is necessary to remove the front cover by carefully inserting a flat
screwdriver on the sides. After taking off the cover, pull the battery out and substitute it with a new
one, paying attention to the polarity: the positive pole must face the side of the

ENTER

RESET

button. The instrument is protected against inversion of polarity and wrong insertion, and in this
case will not switch on.
