Fault diagnosis
ln the event of faults or defects, the active digital readout
unit will automatically give diagnosis readouts.

- Measuring system defective:

associated actual-value counter will start flashing. To
cancel diagnosis readout, switch off power supply,
remedy fault and restart the unit-

- Defect in electronics:
LEDs above reference point keys will light up.
To cancel diagnosis readout, switch off power supply.
lf fault diagnosis reappears after switching off and on
again, return digital readout unit for repair (state LEDs
lighting up).

- Positioning error:
if feed control lever is moved in wrong direction for a
selected positioning operation. the feed motion will be
switched off after 200 pm. Actual-readout (7) will show
'u'symbols.
To cancel diagnosis readout, operate E4 t.v, then rnove
feed control lever in correct direction.

Caution
Never remove or insert plugs while unit is energized.

Additional setup and maintenanpe instructions, as well as

examples of operating the unit, will be found in the oper'
ator's manual supplied with the digital position readout
unit.
