one second). To return to the ABS coordinate system, press the MODE
key twice within 2 seconds.
Note: If disabled, INC mode cannot be activated using the MODE key.
To set a kerf value (for repeating cuts), press the plus, zero and minus
keys (with LOCK off), then press the MODE key for one second.
In the secondary coordinate system mode, INC mode operates exactly
like ABS mode. This can be useful in applications (like vertical panel
saws) where two positions on the same axis are based on one
readhead's movement. Press the MODE key twice within 2 seconds to
return the display back to the ABS mode.
Locking the ABS/INC values
The ABS or INC modes can be locked/unlocked independently of each
other by depressing and holding the MODE key for 2 seconds.
Note: If option 2 is disabled in the programming mode, both ABS and
INC modes will always be in the locked state.
Pattern Adjustment (Multi-Pattern Mode)
Whenever the readhead is disconnected from its power source, or the
display is turned off, and the readhead is moved over a pattern joint, the
displayed reading may be one or more patterns (+ 430mm) in error when
power is restored. This may also occur if the readhead is moved too
quickly in Model 150/250 systems.
To correct the error, first make sure the display is not in LOCK mode.
Press and hold the MODE key along with either the PLUS or MINUS
keys to modify the pattern offset by one pattern length (430mm). Using
this procedure will result in NO LOSS OF ACCURACY to the system.
Position HOLD
The current state of the display may be "frozen" by activating the HOLD
function. The HOLD function is activated by momentarily pressing the
PLUS key while the LOCK feature is on. When in hold, the display will
display HOLD in the upper left corner. If the power is cycled, the HOLD
will be cleared. To turn off the HOLD feature, momentarily press the
PLUS key again.
