3.5 Sensor
Alignment travel is required if a new sensor is connected (see chapter
3.6 ).
Mounting of the sensors as well as installation of the sensor cable is explained in the
documentation pertaining to the sensor MS500H or GS04. With 24 V supply voltage operation
the display controls the connected sensor. If no sensor is connected or if the sensor is lifted
from the tape (MS500H), an error will be detected and the position value displayed red with
flashing "
Error
". This status persists even with power supply failure. The error must be
corrected after checking the sensor connection or sensor position with calibration
(see chapter
2.3 and chapter 3.4 ). If both battery supply and power supply fail simultaneously
(e. g. during a battery change), the absolute position value can get lost. For making the
measuring system work again, calibration is required (see also chapter
3.8 and 3.4 ).
3.6 Alignment travel
The AP10S is fully functional as delivered. To adjust the display to the connected sensor and
to achieve optimum measuring accuracy, alignment travel must be carried out whenever a
new/different sensor is connected to the AP10S. A safe sensor error detection is also only
possible after a alignment travel has been carried out.
For calibration, the sensor must have been mounted correctly (see documentation MS500H or
GS04).
1. By entering CODE 000100, AP10S is set to the alignment mode (see chapter 3.3.1.9 ).

nd

" this value may vary by ±1.
2. When connecting sensor MS500H, it must be moved by a few millimeters in the direction
of the cable outlet (speed <1 cm/s).
When connecting sensor GS04, the shaft must be rotated clockwise by a few millimeters
(speed <<1 U/min).
In the lower line, the value will change in positive direction up to "
103
".
3. The alignment process will be completed when this value is finally exceeded. AP10S has
returned to normal operation and shows the corresponding display. If values above
"
103
" are displayed during alignment, then travel speed must be slowed down during
alignment.
It is not unusual that the position value cannot be displayed immediately after alignment
travel and "
FULL
" is displayed instead of the value. The display should be calibrated in this
case (see chapter 3.4 ).
