1. Center the table and saddle and raise the head. Make sure the gib locks are released.
2. On the Pendant display, go into the Service Codes and input the Code 100.
3. The conversation line will say: “SELECT AXIS”. Input the axis. Either X, Y or Z.
4. In the conversation line it will say “WHICH DIRECTION? PLUS”.
• If you want to run in the plus direction, press INC SET.
• If you want to run in the minus direction, press +/-, then INC SET
5. In the conversation line it will say “PRESS GO”. Press Go after you are sure that the
machine will not crash in the direction and axis that you have specified.
6. Afterward the screen will display values next to the DRO position axes. The table below
assumes machine has secondary feedback. Machines with motor encoders only will
display the reading next to the axis in question.

Interpretation of the resulting values displayed:
The values for the encoder displays should be in the range of 3.0000” to 5.0000”.
• If the motor encoder and sensor or glass scale reading is not within this value, then the
one that is out of specification may be the problem. If one of the encoders is not reading
then it will need to be replaced.
• The feedrate should be a minimum of 120 ipm.
