OPERATION
Step One
1. Remove the Digital Measurement System (DMS) from the shipping package.
2. Remove the two small end cover plates located on the back side of the cable
management to gain access to the mounting blocks.
3. Loosen—do not remove—the two button head screws that retain the mounting blocks to
the backing plate.
4. Lift the DMS into place. (Note: The end stops may need to be removed to access the
button head screws on the front of the unit.)
Step Two
1. Consult your customer drawing for mounting dimensions (Fig. 1).
2. Transfer punch two holes on your side frame for each end of the DMS block mount
assembly (Fig 2).
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
2. Drill and tap the four holes 1/2-13 NC.
3. Install two 1/2-13 NC socket head cap screws through the mounting blocks at each end
to secure the unit to your side frames.
4. Tighten the four button head cap screws to fully secure the end blocks
to the backing plate.
Step Three
1. Plug transformer into 110V wall outlet.
2. Connect green ground wire to earth ground.
Step Four
1. The DMS requires clean, non-lubricated (instrument quality) air at approximately
5.5 bar [80 psi].
2. Connect hose assembly to mill air.
Note: 1/8 NPT connection is provided.

OPERATION
The Digital Display shows the position of the knifeholder in inches or in millimeters up to
three places behind the decimal.
There are three controls located on the reader head of the DMS: The digital display, the
brake release button, and the set stop shaft extension knob.
The reader head should be parked on the side of the system during slitting operation.
Positioning anvil rings using the DMS
1. At customer designated datum location push to reset the display to the reference
value (normally zero).
2. Press and hold the brake release button on the reader head and
move the reader head to the desired position. The digital display shows
the relative location of the reader head.
3. Release the brake release button. The brake engages, locking the
reader head in desired position.
4. Extend the set stop shaft with the set stop extension knob.
5. Move the anvil carriage so the anvil ring contacts the flat surface of the set stop shaft
tip.
Note: Move the reader head away from the anvil ring before retracting set stop shaft.
6. Retract the set stop shaft with the set stop shaft extension knob.
Repeat for each anvil ring.

MAINTENANCE
Bearing grease, dust, and debris can accumulate on the linear rails, preventing the reader
head from moving smoothly on the rail.
Daily
Check reader head movement for smooth travel. Clean the linear rails as needed.
Check the cable management; keep it clear of debris and dust buildup.
Always wear eye protection and dust mask when using a vacuum system or
compressed air.
Do not use solvents on the rails. Solvents will remove the protective lubrication
and result in corrosion.
Cleaning the linear rails
1. Make sure that the slitter is OFF.
2. Turn OFF carriage air.
3. Using a vacuum system or compressed air, clean around the upper and lower bearings
and rails while moving the carriage from one end of the linear rail to the other.
4. Wipe the linear rails using a clean, lint-free cloth.

DISPLAY PARAMETERS
Parameter Descriptions
Display
Selection
Designation / description
Res
Resolution: Determines the resolution of the display. Parameter IfrEE" allows the
programming of a calculating factor.
Fac
Calculation factor (only available, if ‘Resolution’ has been programmed to "FrEE"
before): Used to obtain for example an angle display. Basis is the maximal possible
resolution of 1/100 mm. The calculation factor IFAc" which has to be programmed
results from:
Fac = meas. Range / total travel distance [1/100 mm]
Example: Angle measurement on a circular disk with a display range of o … 1800;
display in 1/100; circumference of the circular disk 942,48 mm; hence total travel
distance 471,24 mm; Fac = 1800 / 47124 = 0,3820
Dp
Decimal point (only available if ‘Resolution’ has been programmed to ‘FrEE’ before):
Determination of the decimal point according to the resolution.
Ref
Reference value: Absolute reference point of the measuring system. This value is set by
referencing the system according to chapter 4.
Ofs
Offset: Can be any value; used to influence the value displayed
eg: tool correction value.
Dir
Counting direction of the measuring system: depends on the sensor’s mounting
position and can be changed subsequently.
"Up"
Upward
"dn"
Downward
Auto
Switch-off method: State of the automatic switch-off:
"Off"
no switch-off.
"on"
automatic switch-off
Period
Switch-off time: Time since last measurement / sensor move after which the display
will switch-off.
RSto
Last value memory:
"Off"
'Last value' memory is OFF. If you lose power, the unit will blink to alert you that
it needs to be recalibrated. Press * to reset.
"on"
'Last value' memory is ON. If you lose power, the last measured value will be
displayed when the unit it turned on. If the unit is moved during the power
outage, the value may vary slightly. Tidland recommends recalibrating any time
there is a loss of power.
