Scale errors are indicated by the presence of graphic bars across the DRO screen instead of numbers. Scale errors can be caused by a few conditions shown in this table: Possible cause Damaged encoder reader head Misaligned encoder reader head Electrical noise on the encoder input Corrective action Repair or replace the encoder. Recalibrate the reader head. Verify that the earth ground provided by the ND 1200 power source is in good condition and is connected to the power system ground. Verify that the encoder cable is shielded and that the shield is connected to ground at the ND 1200 end. Verify that the reader head is not generating electrical noise. Stage (encoder) velocity too high Faulty encoder input connection Restrict stage velocity. If the velocity required for error-free operation is slow, recalibrate the reader head. Repair or replace the encoder cable or seek the assistance of your Metronics distributor.

This section describes how to install the ND 1200 hardware. Assembling the mounting stand The ND 1200 is secured to the swivel slots of the mounting stand by a shoulder screw, a cap screw and associated washers. Assemble the ND 1200 to the mounting stand as shown, and then tighten the cap screw (5) and washers (3 & 4) so that the ND 1200 will be secure when adjusted to the desired tilt position. U U U Tighten the shoulder screw (1). [. . . ] The new file is automatically given the next number in a sequence that begins with the number specified in the Cur Auto No data field. 2. 3 Software setup Audio configuration The ND 1200 can be configured to generate a sound in response to certain measurement activities and results. Sounds screen The Sounds screen contains choice fields for enabling or disabling audio beeps in response to: Warning: Any warning shown on the screen Point entry: When a point is entered during measurement Begin measure: Immediately prior to a measurement during a program execution Good result: When a measurement passes all tolerance tests Failed result: When a measurement fails a tolerance test Excess form: Form error in excess of factory default values. To enable an audio alert: U U Press MENU/SETUP to display the setup menu and then highlight the Sounds menu item. Highlight the desired audio alert choice field and then press the SIMPLE soft key to enable the alert or press the NONE soft key to disable it.
