This chapter details the cable connections for the DP500.
Connection Details
Important Details
Connections
You can only use the DP500 with Newall Spherosyn LT and Microsyn LT analogue encoders.
You need to ensure that:
You secure all the cables to prevent the connectors from dropping into hazardous
positions (for example the floor or coolant tray) when you unplug them.
You route all cables to prevent them from being caught on moving parts.
The DP500 is grounded to the machine, using the braided grounding lead provided,
before you turn on the machine supply.
The power has been disconnected, before you connect the encoder(s).
Do not connect this unit directly to the mains supply.
If an encoder connected to the DP500 travels over 2.2m an error code (2.1) will be displayed in the X
axis and the other axes will go blank. See the trouble shooting guide for further details on page 25.

You use the direction setting to match the DP500 to the actual direction of travel of any axis.
There are two settings for each axis and
Example
If the current setting is and the travel is positive from right to left, changing
the setting to will reverse the direction to measure positive from left to right.
Setting Up The Unit
Radius / Diameter (measure Setup)
The radius/diameter function allows the operator to display actual (radius) or twice-actual (diameter)
measurements for each axis.
This function is generally used in turning applications, such as the cross travel on a lathe where you
want to display the diameter reading rather than the radius.
There are two settings for each axis:
