2.0 INSTALLATION
Select the location of the E-Series with due regard of safety and ease of operation. Keep it clear of moving parts and
coolant spray. Ensure that the natural ventilation around the Digital Sending Unit (DSU) is not restricted.
To ensure correct operation of the E-Series , it is recommended that the Digital Sending Unit (DSU) is grounded to
the machine from the equipotential terminal. A ground strap is provided in the fitting kit. The strap should be cut to a
suitable length once the DSU had been fixed to the machine. A terminal is provided for crimping to the ground strap.
This operation should be conducted by a suitably qualified engineer. The machine must also be grounded to a good
earth point.
The DP8 can be mounted in two basic ways as shown in Figure 2.1
view)
Figure 2.1 - Mounting Procedures
2.1.1 Display and Digital Sending Unit (DSU) mounted separately (Figure 2.1a)
The keypad/display unit incorporates an M10 tapped hole at the rear of the unit. The M10 hole can be used to mount
the display in any of the standard methods as shown in Figure 2.2. The M10 stud mount is provided as standard. The
swivel mount assembly (Part No. 600-80290), the E-Series mounting arm (Part No 294-40055) and the DSU mounting
assembly (Part No 600-65595) are all optional items as detailed on the price list.

2.1 Mounting

Installation
Newall Measurement Systems 4
INSTALLATION
The DSU is normally mounted on a vertical face on the rear of the machine. The DSU facilitates the fixing in 2, 3 or 4
point location. For metric applications drill and tap an M6 hole and locate the DSU by inserting one of the M6 bolts
provided. Ensure the DSU is level, mark the next location and drill and tap the second hole. Repeat this process for
the required number of fixing locations. For those customers requiring imperial (Inch) fittings, repeat the above
process substituting 1/4 inch UNC tapped hole and bolts.
Note: The fitting kit includes both the metric and imperial fittings. The metric fittings are zinc
coated whereas the imperial fittings are black
The DSU is connected to the keypad/display via a 3.5 metre 9 pin “D” type cable. The cable can only be connected in
one direction. Once connected, secure the cable at both ends using the slotted locking screws.
Please note, as shown in Figure 2.1, the encoder and mains leads should be positioned underneath the DSU to avoid
any ingress of coolant.
2.1.2 Display and Digital Sending Unit (DSU) mounted together (Figure 2.1b)
An optional bracket (Part No 600-65595) is available to facilitate the mounting of the DSU directly to the display using
four M6 bolts. These bolts are provided with the bracket kit which includes a 300mm 9 pin “D” type cable. This cable
is to be used to connect the DSU to the keypad/display and the 3.5 metre cable is not needed in this configuration
and can only be connected in one direction.

INSTALLATION
BEFORE CONNECTING THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE DIGITAL SENDING UNIT (DSU),
CHECK THAT THE VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH IS CORRECTLY SET. Figure 2.3 shows the
position of this switch.
The mains supply is connected through a detachable supply cord. The Digital Readout is supplied with a cord with a
right-angle connector. If another supply cord is used, it must have fitted a IEC320, 10A, EARTHED mains connector
with a cord rated for at least 10A.
The PROTECTIVE EARTH CIRCUIT of the mains supply MUST BE CONNECTED to the protective earth terminal of
the DSU through the supply cord.
The supply cord should be secured with cable ties to ensure that it cannot drop into a hazardous position, ie. the
floor or coolant tray, when disconnected from the DSU.
The supply cord must be routed away from moving parts, swarf, coolant or sources of heat.
If a mains plug is not already fitted to the supply cord or is of the wrong type, then a suitable EARTHED plug should
be used which complies with the relevant specifications for plugs and socket-outlets.
The mains supply fuse is a 20x5mm, type T0.5A, 250V. It is not to be replaced by the operator. If the fuse blows it is a
possible indication of some significant problem with the power source. Check the supply and wiring carefully. If the
fuse is replaced, the DSU must first be disconnected from the supply by the removal of the IEC socket from the inlet.
This connector is the primary disconnect device for the equipment and must be accessible at all times. Do not
position the equipment so that it is difficult to operate the disconnect device.
NOTE: If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Equipotential terminal for grounding the DSU to the machine. Refer to section 2.1.
Caution. Refer to section 2.2 before connection to the mains supply.

Installation
Newall Measurement Systems 6
The mains supply switch for the E-Series is mounted on the side of the DSU as shown in Figure 2.3.
When you switch on the E-Series, the unit will automatically go through a brief self diagnostic routine.
During this routine, the name E70 will be shown, then the software version number will be displayed and all segments
of the displays will be lit.
After this routine, the unit will display measurements and is ready for use.
The E-Series can be switched off via the mains switch on the DSU. Alternatively, the keypad/display can be
switched off by pressing the key. Please note that the DSU remains under power when the key
is pressed.
Figure 2.3 shows the connection sockets on the DSU. The E-Series is designed for use with Newall Spherosyn and
Microsyn encoders only. The encoders are connected to the DSU with 9-pin D Type connectors.
Switch off the E-Series before connecting or disconnecting the encoders. To fit the connectors into the appropriate
socket on the back of the E-Series , first align the connector and then push firmly in place.and secure with the locking
bolts. To remove the connector, disengage the locking mechanism and pull the connector clear.
The encoders and the display/keyboard are connected to the DSU at a separated extra low voltage (SELV) level. Any
additional interconnections must also be at SELV level.

Errors can result from a number of sources, including installa-
tion and machine wear.Where the degree of error increases lin-
early along the length of travel of the encoder, Linear Error
Compensation should be applied. However, where the errors
are local to an area of travel, the Segmented Error
Compensation should be applied.

Linear Error Compensation allows the operator to apply a
constant correction factor to all measurements displayed.
Linear error may occur if the axis of the machine is not
running perfectly parallel to the scale (cosine error) or if the
machine is moving in an arc (Abbé errors).The causes may be:
1. Machine wear.
2. Deflection of the machine due to weight acting on an
overhanging section.
3. Misalignment of the scale due to poor installation.
ENT. COMP
The factor may be directly entered.
Load the required factor.
A Linear Error Compensation factor of 1.000000
is equivalent to
no compensation
The further away the scale is mounted from the centre line of
the workpiece, the greater is the potential for linear error.
Linear Error Compensation is expressed as a multiplier,
which is displayed for each axis when ENT. COMP is selected.A
factor of 1.000000 indicates no compensation.
The compensation factor is: True or standard distance moved

5.1.1 Using Incremental
When the E-Series is set to incremental mode, it can be
used to display each new position relative to the last position.
This is also known as point-to-point use.
On setting to incremental you can reset each axis by
pressing [Xo] [Yo] or [Zo].
As an alternative to resetting the axes, you can enter the coordinates relative to the current incremental position. If
done in a negative sense, the operator can move to “0.000” which may save a great deal of machining time.
Each time you switch to incremental mode, the E-Series will display the position relative to the last reset
position while in the incremental mode.
5.1.2 Using Absolute
When the E-Series is set to absolute mode it will display the
position relative to an established datum point.
5.1.3 Establishing the Datum
When you reset the display in absolute mode, you are setting the current position of your machine as your datum
point. All absolute positions will be measured relative to this datum.
To set the datum, position the machine at the point you intend to establish the datum and then reset any or all axes,
while in the absolute mode.
The diagram below is used in the following example to show Absolute and Incremental modes.
