2 MULTICHANNEL UNITS: 2 CHANNELS (D102) & 8 CHANNELS (D108)
2.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The D102 and D108 multichannel units are designed to work with the D100S, D80 or old D100/D101 display units.
They can be mounted on the display unit by inserting the 4 plastic legs. The multichannel unit can equally be positio-
ned separately away from the display unit, close to the probes.
- the D102 unit allows connection of 2 probes on a D100S unit (usually for differential measurement).
- the D108 unit allows connection of up to 8 probes on a D100S unit.
Additional D102 and D108 units may be connected to accommodate up to a maximum of 64 probes. Choice of chan-
nel, its function mode (A, -A, A+/-B, A+/-B+/-C, radius/diameter), its preset and tolerance indications are made from the
D100S display unit.

2.3 OPERATION
1/ Connect D100S 'Out' socket to the 'In' socket on the D102/D108 unit, using the short connecting cable provided with
the multichannel unit.
2/ Connect the probe input socket marked 'Probe' on the D100S unit to one of the two sockets marked 'Common In/Out'
of the D102 or D108 units using the connecting cable provided.
3/ Plug one or more probes into the sockets marked '1' and '2' for the D102 unit and '1' to '8' for the D108 unit. Ideally
it is better to connect probes beginning at channel 1 and continue upwards without leaving a space between the chan-
nels in use. Input 1 corresponds to channel 1 of the D100S, input 2 to channel 2, etc.
4/ If several D102/D108 units are being used, they are connected in the same way:
- The 'Out' socket of the lower unit is connected to the 'In' socket of the upper unit.
- One of the two 'Common In/Out' sockets on the lower unit is connected to one of the two 'Common In/Out' sockets on
the upper unit.
The numerical order of the channels starts from the first D102/D108 unit connected to the display unit. For example if
there are 3 D108 units connected to 1 D100S unit: the D108 unit connected to the D100S corresponds to channels 1
to 8, the next unit corresponds to channels 9 to 16, and third unit to channels 17 to 24.
5/ Presets, tolerances, direction of measurement, radius/diameter or A +/- B modes may then be entered on the D100S
unit. Once this is done, it is possible to select the channel to be displayed manually or with the external contact, or to
use the scanning function. These functions are explained in detail in Section 1.6.
