3. Read Before Proceeding

The EL 400 DRO is sophisticated electronic equipment and should be carefully handled to avoid any damage.

The rated supply to DRO should be within specified limits and should not be exceeded under any circumstances. Doing so may cause irreversible damage to DRO.

DRO should be opened by authorized person only. Otherwise it will invalidate the warranty of the unit.

Equipotential Point (Ground) should be provided to avoid erratic operations of DRO.

Cable routing of DRO and encoders should not be routed through or nearby high capacity switching/inductive load or where it can cause danger.

EL 400 DRO is standard compliant with

EMC Directive EN61326 Standard 61326-4-2, 61326-4-4,

61326-4-11, 61326-4-5, CISPR 16-1 and 16-2.

RoHS compliant.

Warranty will be considered void if and not limited to

Failing to meet manufacturers specified supply conditions.

Abusive handling.

Environmental conditions outside of Manufacturers specifications.

Manipulation, tampering of electronics.

Replacement of original parts with other parts than specified by manufacturer.

Used with encoders other than those supplied by the manufacturer.

Disposal

At the end of its life the EL 400 DRO systems should be disposed of in a safe an environmentally sympathetic manner as applicable to local legislation. The casework and other components may be suitable for recycling. DO NOT BURN.

5.2. Power Supply

The EL 400 DRO series uses a Switch mode power supply inside which covers the universal power input range i.e. 90VAC to

265VAC / 50 to 60 Hz. Ensure the input power is within the specifications before powering the unit.

The power supply to the DRO should not be given from the same source as that of any high capacity switching / inductive loads to avoid interference.

Ensure proper equipotential point (Ground) connection is provided to the DRO to avoid any erratic operations.

6.3. Error compensation

Error compensation is required during DRO installation as there are errors due to ball screw pitch error or deflection & tilting of axes. The error can be also because of measuring system.

This error can either be linear or non-linear. These errors can be determined either with the help of reference measuring system or a slip gauge.

6.3.1. Error compensation for linear Axis

6.3.1.1. Linear Error Compensation (LEC)

Linear error compensation can be applied, if the results of the comparison with a reference standard show a linear deviation over the whole measuring length. In this case the error can be compensated by the calculation of a single correction factor.

EL 400 DRO

6.3.1.2. Segmented Error Compensation (SLEC)

Segmented Linear Error Compensation (SLEC) is used when the results of the comparison with a reference standard shows nonlinear error. In SLEC the entire axis travel is divided into as many as 99 user defined segments. The error in each segment is compensated with a single correction factor. Each correction point is measured with respect to the starting point. This starting point is usually set close to the end of the scale. This starting point can coincide with the absolute datum point.

7.1. Absolute / Incremental mode (ABS / INC)

The key toggles between the Absolute / Incremental position display.

Absolute mode displays the positions of all axes from a fixed datum.

The Incremental mode displays each position relative to the last position. This is also known as point to point use.

The LED indicates the current selection of mode.

Note: At the beginning of each working session, set the

datum in Absolute Mode, and then switch the DRO to

Incremental Mode. By using the DRO in this way, you can return the machine to its absolute datum at any time, simply by switching back to Absolute Mode.

7.2. Inch Metric Display (In / mm)

The key toggles between the Inch units (in) or the millimeter units (mm).

The LEDs indicate the current mode of display.

7.3. Axis Reset

This function is used to Zero the axis.

. .

Pressing axis reset key

( , , ) will reset the respective axis.

When axis reset function is activated in ABS mode, it will redefine the datum of the travel, and then it is not possible to restore the old datum.

key.

Incorrect numeric entries can be cancelled one by one using .

Using this in ABS mode will alter the datum of that axis, so it will not be possible restore the old datum.

7.7. Setting of reference

This function allows user to set a machine zero point. With this machine zero point users can restore the work coordinates even if the machine is moved when the DRO is in OFF condition.

Generally each encoder has reference marks present at every specified interval. These reference marks are used to recall the same datum point every time.

This function works only in ABS mode. If tried to use in INC mode, the DRO is automatically forced to ABS mode and then the function executes.

There are two Positions which can be set as datum point (Home function)

Each sub datum stores coordinates for all 3 axes (X, Y, and Z). In operation, the datum of the machine is replaced by each sub datum in turn, allowing the operator to work to zero for each sub datum instead of having to constantly refer to printed list of coordinates.

10. Auxiliary Functions

10.1. Touch Probe Functions

Touch probe also called as Contact probe is a device which gives a trigger signal when it comes in contact with the work-piece. The

EL 400 DRO uses this trigger signal to execute certain functions which helps the operator to set an axis or measure a work-piece.

Probe functions are categorized into following categories:

10.1.1. Basic Settings:

DRO Type: The DRO can be configured as “DRO T” and

“DRO F” in setup mode. The “DRO T” mode flashes the probe message on trigger

. And the “DRO F” freezes the coordinates on trigger.

Probe Delay: This delay is provided to avoid multiple probe trigger during measurement. The user can set value between 1 second to 60 seconds.

10.1.2. Special Probe Functions:

Datum Function: The co-ordinates of the datum can be set by probing edges or surfaces and capturing them as datum.

Datum by edge: Here the DRO sets the datum at the trigger edge of the work piece.

The DRO receives the trigger pulse form the probe and sets the datum accordingly. (After the trigger pulse the DRO waits for the user to set the axis at the datum point) When the trigger pulse is sensed user can enter the desired co-ordinates of the datum.

Datum by midpoint: Here the DRO sets the datum at the midpoint of the two work piece edges.

10.2. Six Output Functions

There are six optically isolated outputs.

User entered position for six outputs are stored in DRO; however at any point of operation user has flexibility to edit values using

Program function.

In continuous mode if current tool position is greater than the entered value then respective output remains high, and when it is less the corresponding output remains low. However in case of pulse mode, only pulse is obtained whenever tool passes the set position in either direction.

11. Troubleshooting

11.1. Self Diagnostics Mode

EL 400 DRO features self diagnostics mode which checks for following areas.

Memory corruption

Display function

Keyboard functioning

Encoder diagnostics

Self diagnostics mode is enabled by pressing during startup message. First it will enter in memory diagnostic mode.

If no fault is found in memory the display will show



Press any key to stop display diagnostic and proceed with keyboard diagnostic. Here DRO will display the pressed key.

Press key once to exit any diagnostic mode.

To exit Self diagnostics mode press key twice.

11.2. Troubleshooting Guidelines

Problem Observed

No display / Display glows momentarily

Readings are incorrect

Guidelines

Mains supply should be o L

– N : As specified o N

– E: < 3Vrms o L

– E : As specified

Check the fuse. Note that if the fuse has blown, this suggests a fault with the Power source which must be corrected before the fuse is replaced.

Check if encoder connections are proper.

Check calibration factor and if required recalibrate DRO.

If using segmented error compensation, verify the datum position.

Ensure that supply is within specified limits.

The displays work, but give erratic readings, the last digit jitters or the measurements jump to new figures unexpectedly.

Erratic behavior of DRO

This is possible because of poor earth connection. Ensure that the

DRO and the machine on which it is installed must have proper earth connection.

Ensure that cable routing is proper and away from high capacity inductive load.

Ensure that encoder armor is intact and properly routed.

Check for voltage fluctuation.

Try switching DRO Off and turning it back on after 1 min.

Check if keypad is locked.

Try resetting DRO to default settings.

For any additional assistance contact your nearest service center.
