Commissioning
4.1
Inserting/replacing the batteries
Please use only leak-free and mercury-free alkaline type
batteries or the corresponding lithium battery pack.
Safety note!
You have to open the housing of
the PGT-10-S to insert/replace
the batteries. The electronic card
is then exposed.
Make sure you do not damage
the electronic components and
connections.
Make sure ESD protection is
observed.
Battery disposal!
Batteries must not be disposed
of via normal household waste.
Please consult your local waste
authority.
For the power supply, insert the enclosed batteries into
the housing of the PGT-10-S:
Undo the four screws on the rear side of the housing
and open it.
Insert the batteries into the battery holders. In doing so,
make sure the polarity is correct.
Close the housing and screw it back together again.
Note
Please do not tighten the screws too strong as the
threads of the housing can be damaged and
consequently the housing can not be screwed properly
any more.
Note
Power is supplied to the encoder via the PGT-10-S during
programming.
4.2
Connection to the encoder
Safety note!
Always use the adapter cable
that matches the encoder (see
"Accessories").
Programming an incremental
encoder using the adapter cable
for an absolute encoder can lead
to the destruction of the
incremental encoder.
Connect the cable for the PGT-10-S to the adapter
cable.
Connect the encoder with the adapter cable, or the
stranded wires of the encoder with the spring clips.
Note
4.3
Switching the PGT-10-S on and off
The PGT-10-S is switched on by pressing any random
pushbutton. It will automatically switch off approx. one
minute after a pushbutton was last pressed.
The PGT-10-S can be switched off by pressing the ESC
button in the Welcome Message (Menu 0). In order to
return from any submenu to the Menu 0 please press Esc
several times.
Note
Changes that were made for the parameter values but
not stored with the
Save Settings
function will be lost
when the PGT-10-S is switched off.

Description of operation
General notes
Pressing the Enter pushbutton in the main menu allows
you to access every function in the associated
submenu.
Pressing the Enter pushbutton in the submenu allows
you to execute the respective function and then go
automatically back to the main menu.
Pressing the Esc pushbutton allows you to go back to
the main menu from every function in the submenu.

PGT-10-S, however, the encoder will not be
programmed.
Done! OK.
: The acknowledgement message is displayed
for one second each time after the encoder has been
successfully programmed or a set of parameters has
been stored in the PGT-10-S.

(11) Program all (Command: Program All)
This function (clone function) can be used to program any
number of encoders successively using the same set of
parameters. Prior to this, you would have had to store
the set of parameters in the PGT-10-S using the
Save Settings
function.
Enter
:
The encoder is programmed with the set of
parameters stored in the PGT-10-S.
7.1
Single programming
You need to program one, single encoder:
Preparation
Safety note!
Always use the adapter cable
that matches the encoder (see
"Accessories").
Programming an incremental
encoder using the adapter cable
for an absolute encoder can lead
to the destruction of the
incremental encoder.
Connect the encoder to be programmed to the
PGT-10-S using the adapter cable.
Transferring the parameter value
Set the required parameter value in a function
or select from the parameter values provided
(see "7 Description of operation").
Press the Enter pushbutton to program the encoder
with the current parameter value.
When you have transferred all required parameter values,
the encoder is completely programmed and ready for use.
Alternatively: If you have stored a prepared set of
parameters using the
Save Settings
function, then you
can also program the encoder in one step using the
Program All
function.
7.2
Multiprogramming
You need to program several encoders with the same set
of parameters (clone function):
Note
You can easily prepare multiprogramming, for example in
the office. In order to prepare the set of parameters for
multiprogramming, the PGT-10-S must always be
connected to an encoder.
Preparation
Safety note!
Always use the adapter cable
that matches the encoder (see
"Accessories").
Programming an incremental
encoder using the adapter cable
for an absolute encoder can lead
to the destruction of the
incremental encoder.
Connect an encoder type to be programmed to the
PGT-10-S using the adapter cable.
Set all the preferences you need for the parameter
values (functions (5) to (8)). The parameter values do
not have to be programmed in the encoder (set
parameter value and exit the submenu using the Esc
pushbutton).
Store the previously set parameter values in the
PGT-10-S using the
Save Settings
function.
You can use the
Read Settings
function to check the
stored parameter values.
Programming the encoder
Connect the encoder to be programmed to the
PGT-10-S.
Program the connected up encoder using the
Program All
function. The set of parameters stored in
the PGT-10-S is transferred to the encoder.
You can use the
Read Type Label
function to check the
parameter values programmed in the encoder.
Disconnect the encoder from the adapter cable.
The encoder is completely programmed and ready for
use.
Programming further encoders
Repeat the steps under "Programming the encoder" for all
required encoders of the same type.
Note
The set of parameters stored in the PGT-10-S remains
unchanged until you execute the
Save Settings
function
again with the changed parameter values.
