At the end of its life, you should dispose of the DP1200 system in a safe manner applicable to
electrical goods
Do not burn
The casework is suitable for recycling. Please consult local regulations on disposal of electrical
equipment
Encoder inputs 1, 2 & 3 can be used with Spherosyn 2G and Microsyn 2G analogue encoders.
Encoder input 4 can be used with Spherosyn 2G / Microsyn 2G or 5v TTL Quadrature, depending on
the model ordered.
Note: It is possible to upgrade the DP1200 from a 2 or 3 Axis up to 4 Axes, See Page 26 - Unlock Axis.

Important Information
Connections
Encoder inputs 1, 2 & 3 can be used with Spherosyn 2G and Microsyn 2G analogue encoders.
Encoder input 4 can be used with Spherosyn 2G / Microsyn 2G or 5v TTL Quadrature, depending on
the model ordered.
Please ensure that:
All cables are secured to prevent the connectors from dropping into hazardous positions
(for example the floor or coolant tray) when unplugged.
All cables are routed to prevent them from being caught on moving parts.
Before the machine power is turned on, the DP1200 is grounded to the machine, using the
braided grounding lead provided.
The power has been disconnected, before you connect the encoder(s).
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT DIRECTLY TO THE AINS SUPPLY.
If the Newall encoder has a round 7 pin connector, an adaptor cable (part no. 307-80980) is required.
Contact your local Newall supplier for details.

Invalid Key Warning
The DP1200 is equipped with a visual and audible indication to warn the user when an invalid key has
been pressed.
If an invalid key has been pressed, all the displays will flash on and off twice along with a
double beep tone. No operation will change until a correct key for that operation has been pressed.

Navigating Axes 1, 2, 3 & 4 (Analogue) Setup
The DP1200 supports a quick navigation feature using the LCD screen and numeric keys, enabling the
user to navigate to specific areas without scrolling through each and every menu. This is particularly
useful when navigating to one specific item.
Below are the quick navigation keys for the setup of Axes 1, 2, 3 or 4 dependant on model (where
navigation to the main axis setup menu is completed).
