Description
The F1X5_SS instrument is six-digit display unit (reading scale –99999 , +999999) with an input from
transducers that use the SSI interface (encoder, optical lines, position transducers, pressure transducers,
etc.). Through four keys placed on the front panel, it is possible to set up all parameters of the instrument, in
particular the SSI protocol (gray or binary), the bit number (selection from 4 to 24), the scale factor, the
method for the reset/preset of the dimension, etc. The display unit can be provided in versions with two relay
outputs with programmable thresholds and an output RS232/RS485 for communication with remote units
(PLC) in modbus protocol.
The instrument stores the data when the machine is off through non-volatile EEPROM memory.
The display unit is housed in a 48x96 panel case under the DIN 43700 regulations.

Installation
Before installing, connecting or using the instrument read the following instructions:
a) Connect the instrument scrupulously following the manual instructions.
b) Always make the connections using types of cable appropriate for the power and current limits indicated in
the technical data.
c) The instrument is NOT equipped with an On/Off switch, therefore it turns on immediately when connected
to the power supply; for safety reasons the equipment permanently connected to the electricity supply
requires: a two-phase selector switch marked with the appropriate symbol; this will be positioned in the
vicinity of the instrument to be easily accessible to the operator; a single switch can control numerous
instruments.
d) If the instrument is connected to NON-insulated electrical equipment (e.g. thermocouples), the earth
connection must be carried out with a specific lead to prevent this taking place directly through the very
structure of the machine.
e) If the instrument is used in applications with risks of damage to people, machines or materials, it is
absolutely necessary that it is combined with auxiliary alarm systems. It is advisable to ensure the possibility
of verifying the intervention of the alarms also during regular functioning.
f) It is the responsibility of the user to verify, before use, the correct selection of the instruments parameters,
to avoid damages to people or property.
g) The instrument will NOT work in environments with a dangerous atmosphere (inflammable or explosive); it
can be connected to elements which operate in such atmosphere only through appropriate and suitable types
of interface, conforming to the local regulations in force.

h) The instrument contains components sensitive to electrostatic charge, therefore the handling of the
electronic cards in it must be carried out with the appropriate devices, with the aim of avoiding permanent
damage to the very components.
Power supply
a) Before connecting the instrument verify that the power voltage is within the permitted limits indicated on the
plate.
b) Carry out electrical connections with the instrument disconnected.
c) For the instruments and sensors supply, beforehand create a supply line separated from the power line: if
necessary use an isolating transformer.
d) The supply line must provide a sectioning device with fuses upstream the instruments and must not be
used to control relays, contactors etc.
e) If the network voltage is seriously disturbed (switching of power groups, motors, inverters, welders etc.)
use the appropriate filters.
f) If an earth connection is required, make sure that the equipment is provided with a good earth installation:
voltage between neutral and earth <1V and resistance < 6 Ohm.
Connection of inputs and outputs
a) Physically separate the input cables from the supply cables, the output cables and from the power
connections; use shielded twisted pair cables, with display unit connected to ground in one point only .
b) Connect the setting and alarm outputs (contactors, solenoid valves, motors, electric fans, etc.) by
assembling RC groups (resistance and capacitor in series) parallel to inductive loads working in AC mode.
Assembly of the instrument
For a correct installation of the instrument, follow the procedure outlined below:
1. Insert the instrument in the specific cut-out.
2. Screw the screw onto the fixing block.
3. Hook the block to the instrument by means of the gains
4. Block the instrument by screwing the screws of the two blocks.
5. After that, make the electrical connections.
To assemble several instruments side-by-side, make sure axle bases are correct, as shown in the drawing.
Dimensions A and B can be read in the overall dimensions indicated in the manual.

It defines the format of data of the SSI interface: if 0, the format is binary; if 1 the format is Gray. This
parameter shall be set in line with what is requested by the transducer connected to the display unit.
Reset mode
Setting of the reset mode allows for the selection of the instrument behaviour when the RESET/ENTER key is
pushed or after activation of the RESET input.
On the basis of the following table, select the chosen reset mode:
Action of the RESET/ENTER key
or RESET INPUT
0 Key disabled
1 Reset
2Preset
3 Incremental/absolute reading function (*)
4 Delayed Reset (push for 1 sec approx.)
5 Delayed Preset (push for 1 sec approx.)
(*) the absolute/incremental reading function enables you to reset the dimension in one point, make a change
and then restore display of the absolute dimension.
Example: if the current position is 100 (absolute dimension), by pushing RESET/ENTER or by activating the
RESET input, you move to the relative dimension, the dimension on the display is zero set and the first digit to
the right blinks to indicate the relative reading mode. By a change of 50, 50 will appear on the display; by
pushing RESET/ENTER or by activating the RESET input, the display will show the absolute dimension that will
be 150 (= 100 + 50).
By turning off the instrument with relative dimension displayed, when switching on the instrument, the
absolute dimension is displayed and the relative dimension is lost.
./
././
./ Preset dimension
The instrument allows for the setting of the value that will be displayed after pushing the RESET/ENTER key, in
line with what is indicated in the table above M.Azz. “Reset mode ”.
Allowed values range between –999999 and 999999.

//
/ SSI input filter
By setting 1, the noise-proof filter is activated (if this function is supported by the transducer). For example,
with the transducer for absolute magnetic band MAT, the measure of the dimension is made with a double
reading Burst, leaving a smaller interval of tm (16µs) between the first and the second Burst, so that the
dimension is not updated between the two readings. Consequently, if the two dimensions were different, this
would mean the reading has been altered by the noise and shall hence be repeated .
By setting 0 (default value) this function is disabled.
