10 INITIALISATION
10.1 Concept
In general, the initialisation process is the first step after turning on the instrument.

Glass scale
The probe support (2) is directly linked to a carriage system with an opto-electronic sensor
(7) on it. As soon as the instrument has been turned on, this non-contact sensor will read the
incremental divisions (8) on the glass scale (9) at all times. One of these increments is
considered as the reference from which the height gauge will always calculate its position.
This mark is called the reference mark (6).
The initialisation process therefore consists in moving the sensor in front of the reference
mark, which is located approximately at 15 cm from the instrument base.
10.2 Automatic process
(MH+M)
Once the height gauge is turned on and the software is loaded, the initialisation page is
accessed and the height gauge automatically starts to search the reference mark. It will first
move up approximately 15 cm. If the reference mark is not found or the upper limit of the
instrument is reached, the sensor will move down. The process is finished once the sensor
has detected the reference mark on the glass scale.
