FOREWORD
The manufacturer would like to thank you for purchasing the programmable digital
readout SPACE 2000 EVO MICROCOMPUTER
and to confirm that you have made an excellent choice.
Thanks to a powerful micro-controller, this instrument is fully programmable via the
keypad. This means that SPACE 2000 EVO can be optimised with a number of specific
functions for any type of machine-tool.
INSTALLATION
W A R N I N G !
Do not switch on the instrument unless the machine conforms to EC 89/392
regulations.
The installation of the instrument must be carried out by authorised skilled staff
who will follow the regulations stated by the Manufacturer.
EARTHING The instrument is connected to earth by means of the power supply
connector. In order to avoid discharges it is advisable to use an
earthed socket. If the instrument is not connected or is improperly
connected to earth, all the accessible parts, including those which may
appear to be protected, may generate electrical discharges. Under no
circumstances is it possible to access the inside of the instrument
when it is powered from the mains power supply or by other power-
supply devices.
FUSES The mains voltage required is 230 VAC - 50/60 Hz (if specifically
requested, 110 VAC 60 Hz). Disconnect the mains plug before
replacing the fuse, which is located on the rear panel. Use exclusively
delayed-action fuses, φ5 x 20 mms, 500 mA 250 V.
PREVENTION In order to avoid the possibility of fires or explosions, this instrument
may not be used in the presence of inflammable gases, solvents,
explosives, etc.
REAR This may be removed exclusively by specialised personnel, and in any
PANEL case after disconnecting the instrument from the mains power supply
(it is not sufficient to place the switch in the OFF position).
INSTALLATION Install the measuring rulers (or encoders) in accordance with the
Manufacturer’s’ instructions. Connect the Axis connectors to the
corresponding inputs (X,Y and Z) on the instrument. Connect the
power supply cable and then switch on the instrument (key-type switch
on the rear).
IMPORTANT NOTE: The instrument is protected against incorrect information
caused by uncertain situations (due, for example, to sudden or momentary mains
voltage drops). In these cases, in order to inform the operator that an accidental
upset of this type has occurred, when the instrument is switched on again, it
prompts the operator to find the ruler zero (rEF).

The instrument provides a series of acoustic and visual signals to indicate the succession
of the settings. Each time a key is pressed, a “short” sound of a buzzer is heard, while
messages consisting of wordings or numbers appear on the display depending on the type
of setting mode (see manual). Lastly, the Axis LED underlines the activation of the axes or
that they have been set to perform (or to have performed) a given function. If the LED
flashes, the function is in progress, while if it is steadly lit (or if it extinguishes), the function
has been completed and performed.
In the event of uncorrect entries, an acoustic alarm consisting of a “long” buzzer signal will
occur, accompanied by a visual alarm consisting of the following message:
E r r o r
This appears momentarly on the display in order to inform the operator that he has
pressed a key which is not compatible with the operation being carried out.
In the event of “overflow” errors, which occurs if measurements having a number of digits
greater than the counting capacity of the instrument are entered, the error is indicated on
the display as follows :

RETENTION OF DATA AND PROGRAMS
Parameters of SPACE 2000 EVO is carried out before hand by the Manufacturer, who is
aware of the access codes and of the procedures (configuration). The user can then enter
the settings required for using it. All the information is permanently stored, and can only be
changed voluntarily, by re-entering it. The instrument is also able to “remember” the last
datum acquired, when the power supply is switched off.
IN ADDITION TO THE INFORMATION REFERRED TO ABOVE, THE
FOLLOWING WILL ALSO BE RETAINED:
A) The selected unit of measure (MM/INCH).
B) Confirmed function settings, with the exception of the scale factor
and variable resolution.
C) The last Axis counting position, and any messages (not of the
transient type) indicating abnormal situations, such as :
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
To clear all the “operational” settings entered (resetting of counters, origins of the Axis, tool
offsets, etc.) see function “F0”
IMPORTANT Either the instrument is in the ABS or the INC mode, it is unable to
consider any shifting of the Carriages (due to inertia, manual
repositioning or thermal expansion) when there is no power supply. If this
occurs, the measurements indicated on the display will no longer be
reliable, since they will be unable to show the new position of the
Carriages, only the one before the instrument switched off.
In order to avoid errors, which may be even considerable, the operator
must consider the opportunity of relating the ABS/INC counting mode to
the ruler zero reference (rEF). He will also have related to rEF all those
functions which he intends to use and which require this condition, as
specified in the descriptions relating to the single functions (it is
recommended that these descriptions be carefully read).

SPACE 2000 EVO/N (T and M versions) OPERATION MANUAL

REVERSAL OF THE DIRECTION OF COUNTING
Switch on the instrument and wait for the end of the self-test cycle.
The displays remain on and show the search for zero (rEF). Press CLR to enable the Axes
for counting. Move the Carriages by hand and decide which Axes need to be reversed (the
direction in which they advance depends on the mode of application of the rulers, and is
therefore random).

SPACE 2000 EVO/N (T and M versions) OPERATION MANUAL
14
RULER ZERO REFERENCE (rEF)
The ruler zero reference (rEF) can be considered a precision micro-contact, generally
located at the centre point of the travel. Its position in relation to the geometrical trim of the
machine is invariable in time, and can only “move” if the ruler is disassembled (for
servicing, maintenance or replacement), and re-assembled differently. In this case the
operator will have to set the references again. When using scales with reference marks at
coded distance, the research of rEF is completed after a travel about 20mm on the travel
direction.
Note: for a correct recognization of ref. position, on scales with reference marks at coded
distance, it is important to properly set the counting way, according to the installation
instruction.
The zero can be searched either in the automatic mode, each time the instrument is
switched on, or in the manual mode:
A) Automatically, each time there is a momentary or long-lasting interruption of the
main power supply, either voluntary or otherwise, in order to avoid presenting the
operator with incorrect numerical values (LAST POSITION), the instrument displays a
prompt to the operator suggesting a new ruler zero (rEF) search. This is the case, for
example, in the event of a sudden power failure occurring while the Carriage is
moving (since it would continue to move due to inertia), or movements due to thermal
expansion (due, perhaps, to a temperature drop at night), or involuntary or accidental
shifting (while cleaning the machine, for example). In this way, the operator is warned
that there is a probable “risk situation”. He may decide to carry out a ruler zero (rEF)
search by passing the Carriages over the corresponding points, or else to cancel the
ruler zero by pressing CLR (this should be done in any case if the rulers do not have
the ruler zero reference. In this case it is advisable to check the precision of the
positions reached).
B) Each time the operator feels that it is necessary, he can check the positions reached
by the Carriages by setting the ruler zero (rEF) search manually on the Axis in
question (or on all the Axes).
For example enter:
Xand/or
Key
and/or
and/or
r E F
Yand/o
Z
The LEDs of the activated Axes flash and indicate that the instrument is ready for the ruler
zero (rEF) operation
NOTES: Each time an Axis completes the ruler zero (rEF) search, it is automatically excluded from this
function so that it will not interfere with the other operating conditions. In any case, the instrument
will not accept any settings until all the Axes have terminated the ruler zero (rEF) search, and will
display an error message if any keys except CRL are pressed. The operator may then decide to
proceed as follows:
A) to complete the zero search for all the Axes activated;
B) to carry it out for the Axis concerned and cancel it for the remaining Axes;
C) to cancel the search right away for all the Axes because it is considered superfluous.

SPACE 2000 EVO/N (T and M versions) OPERATION MANUAL

SELF-TESTING
A general test of the instrument is carried out each time it is switched on, and the validity
of the data stored in the memory is checked. If these are found to be reliable, while the
function is being performed the following wording will appear on the display for a few
seconds:

ABSOLUTE/INCREMENTAL COUNT
The LED of each Axis always signals the following:
AXIS LED ON = AXIS IN ABSOLUTE COUNT (ABS) MODE
AXIS LED OFF = AXIS IN INCREMENTAL COUNT (INC) MODE
AXIS LED WILL FLASH = FUNCTION BEING PERFORMED
It is possible to switch either a single Axis or all the Axes from one counting mode to the
other as follows :

X
The LED will light up (or extinguish) and signal that the Axis is in the ABS (or INC) mode.
The counting system is managed by the instrument, which has a dual internal counter
(ABS/INC) for each Axis. The information relating to the movement of the Axis updates
both counters at the same time. The information entered by the operator, on the other
hand, only affects the counter of the selected counting system. It goes without saying that
if the ABS counter is reset at a given point of the travel (ORIGIN) and the INCREMENTAL
counting mode is used (this is handier and more versatile to use), the operator can then
carry out all the resetting, pre-selections, functions and so on required by the machining
process, since he can return to the ABS count at any time to find out the “absolute”
positions of the Carriages at that time and thus find the ORIGINS which had been set.

MMS/INCHES CONVERSION
Each time the following key is pressed the unit of measurement is switched from
MM to INCHES or vice versa. The switch takes place instantaneously for all the Axes
being counted. The selected unit of measurement is shown by the position of the
illuminated LED on the keypad, and also by the position of the decimal points for the Axes
being counted. If activation of the conversion is not compatible with the operational
conditions of the instrument, pressing this key will cause an error message to be
displayed.
WORKPIECE CENTRE
This function makes it easy to identify the centre between two points A and B of a
workpiece being machined (distance between centres of holes, geometrical figures, sides
of the workpiece, etc.). To perform the function, for example on the Y Axis, proceed as
follows:
A) Go to the first position, A, by moving the Carriage along the Zo Axis. Let
us suppose that in this position the display of the Y Axis indicates the
dimension 30.00 (which it is not necessary to reset):
B) Key
½

Y
Both the LED of the Y Axis and the LED of the ½symbol will flash on the keypad.
The auxiliary display will show the wording “WORKPIECE CENTRE”.
C) Now go to the second position, B. Let us suppose that in this position the
display of the Y Axis shows the dimension 52.22
D) Key
½
or
1 1. 1 1
Y
The flashing LEDs will extinguish and a dimension will appear on the display of the Zo
Axis. This dimension is exactly half (rounded off, if necessary) of the path followed by
the Carriage between the two positions A and B. It will be sufficient to move the
Carriage as far as dimension “0.00” for it to be located exactly on the required centre
point.
NOTE: This function can only be carried out when the Axis concerned is set for
INCREMENTAL counting.. Otherwise, it is not completed by the calculation, as
this would interfere with the ABSOLUTE count settings.
