The instrument provides a series of visual signals to support the user during configuration
and use.
Wrong operations are signaled with the following message:
E r r o r
that temporarily appears on the display to inform the operator that the entered key is not
compatible with the current operation.
In case of “overflow” error , i.e. the number of digits displayed is greater than the
instrument counting capacity, the error is shown on the display as:
_ _ _ _ _ _
To exit this situation, enter a compatible position in the “Position Preset” parameter.
In certain situations, the error message will be accompanied by a number, indicating the
cause of the error. For example:
E r r o r 20
The list of possible errors is provided in the table below:
Error Number Description
20 Function not present
21 Axis in motion
22 Program unavailable

When the mains power supply is disconnected, the instrument can retain in its memory all
the data and programs set. When powered off, the instrument can also store the last axis
counting position.
)
The instrument cannot consider shifts of the carriage made whenever the mains
power supply is disconnected (due to inertia, manual manoeuvres, or thermal
expansion). Whenever any of the above occurs, the position shown in the display is
unreliable; it does not represent the new position of the carriage but the one it had
prior to power disconnection.

Parameter 03 – ENCODER PULSE CORRECTION
The correction factor CF is entered by the operator to adapt the machine linear shifting to
the number of encoder pulses (PPR).
For instance, in a machine with linear shifting correlated to the screw pitch, the correction
factor CF is calculated by the operator according to the formula:
SCREW PITCH (mm)
CF = ---------------------------------------
(RIS * PPR * CNT)
Where: RIS = axis resolution (see parameter 06)
PPR = encoder pulses per revolution
CNT = counting mode (see parameter 04)
Suppose we have a 100 PPR encoder, a 0.01 mm resolution and a x4 counting mode.
Example A with 4 mm screw pitch, example B with 5 mm screw pitch:
in case A: CF = 4 / (0.01 * 100 * 4) = 1.00000
in case B: CF = 5 / (0.01 * 100 * 4) = 1.25000
To compensate shifting, a CF value has to be manually entered.
Example: CF value setting = 1.25000
