(2) Absolute Zero Function
The spindle position when the power is switched ON is taken at
the absolute zero point, and the absolute zero function keeps
constant track of the displacement from this position, displaying
the difference. To switch from the normal measurement function
to the absolute zero function, press the RESET switch for longer
than two seconds. When this is done, “AB” will appear on the
display, indicating that the absolute zero function has been se-
lected. If the switch is pressed for a longer time, the absolute
zero and normal functions will be selected alternately. In this func-
tion counting direction will be limited to the direction. The inch/
mm unit is limited to the unit selected in the normal measure-

protected and cannot be changed in this function. The mode
switch becomes inoperative. The RESET switch is only usable to
return to the normal measurement function.
If “E” appears in the display during a measurement, set the power
to OFF as would be done for the normal measurement mode.
(3) Preset Function
The preset function is used to add a preset offset value to mea-
sured values for display.
It is only possible to switch to the preset function from the normal
measurement function. If the mode switch is pressed for longer
than two seconds in the normal measurement function, the “P”
appears in the display, indicating that the preset function has
been selected. Simultaneously with selection of the preset func-
tion, the setting value will be displayed (or “0” will be displayed if
the offset value has not been set).
Note that in this function, the direction and inch/mm switching
are protected (i.e., disabled).
The direction and inch/mm system are held at the selections
made in the normal measurement function.
The RESET switch operates to set the displayed value as the
setting value.
Press the RESET switch (for less than two seconds) and re-
