Example: With the EX-501(W), set the distance between the

sensor head and the target to 0.2 mm.

Even when the lock switch is set to
LOCK (the lower position), the
auto-zero function can be activated
by an external signal.

When the lock switch is set to FREE, the zero-point value is stored in
the controller every time the auto-zero function is used. (The value is
retained even if the power is turned OFF.) When the lock switch is set
to LOCK, the auto-zero function can be activated by external terminal
input, but the zero-point value cannot be stored. To activate the auto-
zero function frequently by external terminal input, set the lock switch
to LOCK.

AUTO-ZERO/AUTO-SPAN FUNCTIONS

Auto-zero adjustment range

• The output voltage can be set to 0 V when the target is at any

position within the measuring range. (When current output is
used, the output current is adjusted to 4 mA.)

• If the auto-zero key does not function; for example, if the auto-

zero key is pressed when the sensor head is out of the meas-
uring range, the OVER indicator lights and the LED of the auto-
zero key flashes.
Press the auto-zero key again to reset the alarm, and then re-
start the procedure described above.

Even if external auto-zero input is activated when the target is out of
the measuring range, the sensor does not receive the auto-zero input
and continues measurement.
