Essential Features
The Series 54 / 56 programmable position indicators are available with either a 5 digit 13mm high LCD
display, a 5 digit 14mm red LED display, or 6 digit 10mm red LED display. The indicators incorporate
the following features :
- Input of required datum value by means of the front buttons
- Robust foil covered buttons and compact plastic enclosure
- Can be operated from the batteries or from external power supply
- Memory on power down
- Designed to operate from encoder or magnetic scale feedback
- Setting of multiplication factor for display
- Incremental and absolute measurement
- Programming of features using front buttons
- 5 or 6 Digit display with +/- symbol, LED or LCD.
- Inch/metric selection.
- Display extinguished after 10 sec to save battery.
- Datum offset available.
- External inputs.
The Range available is as follows :-
Series 54 single axis indicator available in LED or LCD display formats. Suitable for encoder
feedback.
Series 56 single axis indicator available in LED or LCD display formats. Suitable for MX
magnetic scale feedback.
MX Magnetic Scale
The MX Scale is a non-contact magnetic linear measuring device used extensively with the ELGO
simple positioning and display product range. The MX scale usually consists of three components :-
MB20.50.xx,xm - Magnetic tape, available to lengths of 25m.
MS17.60.03,0m - Sensing head incorporating feedback cable.
MC - Signal translator which generates a quadrature feedback signal identical
to an encoder.
In the case of the above indicators, the MC has been incorporated (where appropriate) into the
indicators. The addition of this extra circuit board accounts for the additional cost of the MX scale option
and the reason why, due to physical restrictions, the 56 series requires an external NG20 power supply.

Operation
These indicators may be fully controlled from four simple push buttons:-
Function select
Must be pressed with another button to select required function.
Pressed on its own, returns from selected function to operation, and stores edited value to
RAM.
Twin Datum
When pressed on its own, adds the Datum Offset to the actual position. Press again to
subtract.
Certain machines, such as panel saws with turnover stops, require two datums with a fixed
offset that can be readily toggled.
Incremental / Absolute operation
When pressed on its own, switches between absolute and incremental operation.
In many applications dimensions are given on drawings, which are relative dimensions. Most
position indicators display only the absolute position and it is necessary to calculate the new
absolute position
e.g. 1928.7 + 325.9 = 2254.6
This is laborious and can lead to errors.
This can be avoided by the use of this range of indicators. The operator can select
= "Incremental". This sets the display to zero. Operator can now move 325.9 and re-
select
= "Absolute" ( the display now reads 2254.6 )

Setting Datum
F
When pressed together, immediately sets the pre-programmed datum position to the display.
This is only possible if the configuration register is set to ( XXXX0 )
(See user adjustments, for random setting of Datum).
Display Extinguish - 56 series (for battery life saving)
The counter and/or display may be extinguished in a number of ways.
The method required must be chosen in the config register.
User Adjustments
Edit Datum and Datum Offset
It is only possible for the operator to edit the Datum and Datum Offset, if the editing feature is unlocked
in the configuration register. ( XXX0X )
NB The Datum and Offset values incorporate any decimal places set in the configuration ( See later )
Edit Datum programmed value
Press both buttons for three seconds, allows the editing of the datum value. Range
( 00000 to + 99999)
Setting display to any value
Instead of having a fixed datum, the display can be set to any value desired and count from there. This
is made possible by setting the Config register to XXX01.
Press both buttons for three seconds, any value may now be set in the normal way.

Edit datum Offset
Press both buttons for three seconds, allows the editing of the Datum Offset . Range ( 00000 to +
99999 )
Edit Datum +/- 1 bit
The indicator provides the facility for the operator to make small adjustments to the actual value of
display to take care of minor machine variations. This is only possible when the configuration register is
set to ( XXXX2 ) NB: Setting of datum as above is not possible, when this feature is selected.
Press both buttons for three seconds, any value may now be set in the normal way.
subtracts one bit/press,
adds one bit/press, to the displayed value.
Edit Flexible Multiplier
It is only possible to edit the Flexible Multiplier if the editing feature is unlocked in the configuration
register. ( XX0XX )
for three seconds, allows the editing of the flexible multiplier
Range X 0.0001 to X 9.9999 (Decimal point is automatically displayed)
Press the above button on completion of any edit, to store value to RAM and return to
operating mode.
