Selecting the Operating Voltage
To select the operating voltage for the DRO:
1. Locate the ON/OFF switch on the back panel of the DRO and verify that the switch
is in the OFF (0) position.
CAUTION:To avoid electrical shock, unplug the DRO from the power source.
2. Insert a small screwdriver into the fuse cover slot and open the fuse cover.
3. Remove the fuse holder. Depending on the desired operating voltage, place the
fuse in either the 115V slot or the 230V slot. For 115V, place the fuse on the right
and the clip on the left; for 230 V, place the fuse on the left and the clip on the right.
NOTE:Both the 5 X 20 mm fuse (Europe) and the ¼ X 1-¼ inch fuse (U.S.), rated at
0.5 amps/250V can be used in the fuse holder.
4. The selected operating voltage is visible through the fuse cover window.
5. Insert the fuse holder into the ON/OFF switch and close the fuse cover.

Beeper
The beeper is a standard feature on all ANILAM DROs. Use the beeper to acknowledge
a keystroke. For correct keystrokes, a short tone sounds. For incorrect keystrokes, a
long tone sounds. The beeper default, preset by ANILAM, is ON.
To toggle the beeper OFF or ON, press feature F 21.

10
Keyboard Entry Error
If you enter an incorrect value, press the axis key again to clear the axis display. If you
enter too many numbers on an axis, the DRO display reverts to zero on that axis. When
this happens, enter the correct number again.

11
Presetting a Dimension
Presetting allows you to enter a dimension into an axis display. After you have preset
the dimension, you can move the machine until the axis zeros.
You can also use the preset feature as a one-line recall mode if the display is set in
Incremental Mode.
Example 1: Preset the dimension 1.2500 (31.75 mm) on the axis display.
1. Press the desired axis key.
2. Press to enter the dimension.
3. Press to preset the
dimension.
Example 2: Preset the dimension -1.2500 (-31.75 mm) on one axis display and .5000
on another axis display.
1. Press the desired axis key.
2. Press
+
_
to set the axis to
–1.2500.
3. Press the desired axis key.
4. Press to set the axis to .5000.
5. Press
NOTE: As a safety feature, the preset axis does not display movement until you press
SET. If you press SET after the machine is moved the DRO automatically
updates to the new position.

12
Resetting an Axis to Zero
When you reset an axis, the display for that axis reverts to zero
Use the reset feature when establishing part zero (datum) or clearing the axis at each
part location (making incremental moves).
To reset one axis (X or Y):
1. Press the desired axis key to select the axis.
2. Press
To reset two or more axes at the same time:
1. Press the desired axis keys to select the axes.
2. Press
NOTE: See Absolute Zero Set – F 01 also.

13
Recalling a Preset Dimension
This feature allows you to recall a preset dimension to the axis display.
Use this feature when making multiple moves of the same dimension.
NOTE: This feature works only in Incremental Mode.
To recall a preset dimension:
1. Press
ABS
INCR
to set the display
to Incremental
Mode.
2. Press the desired axis keys to select the axes.
3. Enter the incremental dimension.
4. Move the machine to zero.
5. Press the desired axis key twice to recall the dimension.
NOTE: You can recall a dimension after resetting absolute zero or in case of power
loss.
To clear a preset dimension while in Incremental Mode:
1. Press the desired axis keys to select the axes.
2. Press to set the display
to Incremental
Mode.

14
Clearing A Preset Dimension
When you clear a dimension, you automatically zero the previously entered dimension
in an axis.
To clear preset dimensions, one axis at a time:
1. Press the desired axis key to select the axis.
2. Press
To clear entered dimensions for all axes:
1. Press the desired axis keys to select the axes.
2. Press
See also feature Absolute Zero Set – F 01.

15
Centering the Workpiece
This feature allows you to quickly locate the centerline of the workpiece on each axis.
Example: To locate the centerline of the workpiece on an axis:
1. Zero the display at one edge of the workpiece.
2. Move to the opposite edge of the workpiece and touch the other edge.
3. Press
4. Press the desired axis key to select the axis.
5. Move toward the center of the workpiece until the axis display indicates 0(zero).
This is the centerline of the workpiece on the axis.
NOTE: The DRO compensates for the tool width.

16
Adding/Subtracting Values
This feature allows you to add or subtract values using the axis display values. You can
add/subtract a value to/from a value displayed for a machine position or for values you
enter in an axis display.
Example 1: The axis display indicates 3.425 inches (87 mm). To add 1.259 inches
(32 mm) to this value:
1. Press the desired axis key to select the axis.
2. Press
The axis display now indicates 4.685 (119 mm).
Example 2: To subtract 1.259 inches (32 mm) from 3.425 inches (87 mm) in the axis
display:
1. Press the desired axis key to select the axis.
2. Press
3. Press the desired axis key to select the axis.
4. Press
+
_
The axis display now indicates 2.166 inches (55 mm).
