For details about I/O connecting cables, see
Connection procedure
•
When making connections, connect the power cable last.
• Do not run the power cable and Linear Gage connecting cable through a cable
duct together with other power lines.
• Secure the power cable and connecting cables for external equipment to your
equipment with a cable tie, cable holder, etc.
Be sure to connect this product to ground. If this product is not grounded,
it will be more susceptible to electrical noise.
Make connections as shown in the figure below.

Operation Check
Check the cable connections with the following procedure to confirm that the
connections are correct.
1
Connect the power.
» The Counter enters the stand-by state.
2
Press [P.SET].
» The Counter changes to the Counter
display.
Tips
EG-101Z will enter the origin-detection waiting state. To change to the Counter
display, push in the contact point of the Linear Gage to make it pass over the origin.
3
Check that the counter value is shown on the Display.
4
Check that the counter value on the Counter changes by moving
the contact point of the Linear Gage up and down.

Parameter setting
The settings of the Linear Gage that you will use, the display of the
Counter, and external output are specified by setting parameters. Set
parameters before you begin measuring.
3.1
Procedure for Setting Parameters
Parameters are set in Parameter mode. As an example, the procedure for
using the Linear Gage with a resolution of 5 µm for EG-101P is explained.
1
Connect the power.
» The Counter enters the stand-by state.
2
Press and hold [Fn], and then press [P.SET].
» The Counter enters Parameter mode.
(The set value of parameter number 00
will blink.)

Set value
3
Press [P.SET] once to set the value to 1 (parameter setting).
»
Parameters can now be modified. (The
set value remains blinking.)

Set value
Tips
If the setting value is 0, you can view the parameter values, but you cannot change
them.
4
Repeatedly press [Fn] to advance the parameter number to 12.
» The current value of parameter number
12 will blink. (Parameter number 12
sets the resolution.)

Set value
5
Repeatedly press [P.SET] to set the set value to 1 (resolution:
5 µm).
»
The value will be set to 1. (The Linear
Gage resolution will be set to 5 µm.)

Set value
6
Press and hold [Fn], and then press [P.SET].
» The Counter will return to the stand-by
state.

Basic Parameters
This section explains the basic parameters related to measuring. Be sure to
set these settings before measuring.
Tips
Correct measurement results may not be obtained if the settings are incorrect.

The unit for displayed values can be set to "mm"
or "E units". E=1/25.4 mm. After the unit is set,
the default value will not be restored even if the
parameters are re-initialized.
0: mm

The optional constant value setting is available only when the value of
parameter number 16 is set to 3. For details, see
*
2
To use the origin detection function with EG-101Z, set the value to 1. When
using EG-101P, set the value to 0.
*
3
The Preset value and tolerance value that had been set will be cleared if the
setting is changed.
*
4
An ABS type gage stores the origin even when the power is off. Set this
according to the Linear Gage type. To match the display of the Counter and
Linear Gages such as ID or SD, specify INC mode.
