Standard Mode
The Standard mode allows the distance count unit of
measurement to be either feet or meters.
The
INC
switch (Figure 9 Item 9) selects the feet standard.
The
DEC
switch (Figure 9 Item 9) selects the meters standard.
NOTE:
Standard Feet displayed distance is 4 whole digits with 2 decimal places (0000.00ft). Standard
Meter displayed distance is 4 whole digits with 3 decimal places (0000.000m).
CAL by Reel Mode
Th
e
CAL by Reel mode allows for software calibration of the
distance measurement system of the reel. The calibration
feature makes an automatic adjustment of the distance count
based on a calculated calibration adjustment factor
determined by the procedure.
The procedure is the following:
1.
Mark the cable with a 0-foot starting mark and a 25-foot finish mark.
2.
Start the calibration procedure by pressing the
INC
(Start) (Figure 9 Item 9) switch.
NOTE:
If meters is desired after calibration, the Standard menu must be used to change back to
meters.
3.
Position the cable starting mark at a place on the counting roller that is easy to see. Run the 25
feet of cable out through the reel. Be sure the cable has normal tension and wrap around the
counting wheel just as there would be with a normal setup. Stop running at the cable finish
mark at the same place on the counting roller.
4.
Press the
DEC
(Set) (Figure 9 Item 9) switch to set the calibration adjustment factor.
5.
Finally press the
MENU
switch (Figure 9 Item 8) to store the calibration adjustment factor and
exit out of the calibration menu.
CAL by CNT/REV Mode
The CAL by CNT/REV mode allows for direct entry of the
calibration count per revolutions number. Use of this mode is
an alternate method of calibration to the CAL by Reel where a
known calibration adjustment factor is desired. Using this
mode also allows for no adjustment factor to be used by
entering the number as the encoder itself times 4. If no
adjustment factor is desired, a number of 20 would be
