Setup
Radius/Diameter
The Radius/Diameter parameter determines which axes will be effected
by the RAD/DIA key.
To change the Radius/Diameter mode:
• Move until the display reads “DIA” in the Setup mode.
(Press SETUP and then the ENTER key until “DIA” appears).
“1” indicates the Diameter mode will be enabled. “0” indicates it
will disable the Diameter mode.
• Press the corresponding Axis key to enable or disable the
Radius/Diameter mode.
• Press ENTER key once you have chosen the correct mode.
Position Recall
• Set this parameter to the ON position to store the last position of
each axis when power is turned off.
Testing the Scales
Follow these steps to confirm that your scales have been installed prop-
erly. This test will confirm the scale’s electrical operation, and will also
check the installation intergrity.
Counting Test
• Move the tabel alon each axis, one at a time. Check that the
readout corrctly displays teh table’s movement. If it doesn’t,
then the scale resolution you selected may not be accurate.
Refer to Scale Resolution, pg. 9.
Repeatability Test
• Locate a magnetic base on the machine and set the dial indicator
on the scale’s reading head casting. Zero the readout and the
indicator.
• Move the axis through the full travel and return the dial to “0.”
The readout should also read 0 (±.0005” for 10µm scales;
±0.0002” for 5µm scales; ±0.00005” for 1µm scales). If it
doesn’t, then the scale cable may be loose, or the scale,
mounting bracket, or reading head may need to be tightened or
realigned.
• Repeat these steps for each scale.
