uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. Operation of this equipment in
a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at his own expense.
You are cautioned that any changes or modifications
not expressly approved in this manual could void your
authority to operate this equipment.

führen kann.
•Die Abdeckung der Anzeigeeinheit nicht öffnen, um die Einheit zu zerlegen oder zu
verändern, oder die Sicherungen austauschen, da dies zu Verbrennungen oder
Verletzungen führen kann. Durch derartige Maßnahmen können auch die internen
Stromkreise beschädigt werden.
Vorsicht
•Beim Abziehen des Netzkabels nicht am Kabel selbst ziehen, da es hierdurch beschädigt
und ein Feuer oder ein elektrischer Schlag hervorgerufen werden kann. Zum
Herausziehen aus der Netzsteckdose stets am Stecker anfassen.
•Das Gerät ist nicht explosionsgeschützt. Es darf daher keinesfalls in einer Umgebung
verwendet werden, die brennbare Gase enthält, da hierdurch ein Feuer entstehen
könnte.
•Wenn das Gerät längere Zeit nicht verwendet werden soll, aus Sicherheitsgründen
unbedingt den Netzstecker aus der Netzsteckdose ziehen.
•Unbedingt darauf achten, daßdie Stromversorgung ausgeschaltet wird, ehe der

1-2. Handling Instructions
•Do not route the head connecting cable, power cord, etc, together with the machine power line
in one duct.
•Supply power from an AC lamp source.
•Connect the ground terminal to the machine with the supplied ground wire. Make sure the
machine is grounded.
Ground wire
•Place the display unit more than 0.5 m (20") away from a high voltage source, large current
source, large power relay, etc.
•For installation of the display unit, avoid a location exposed to chips, cutting oil, or machine oil.
If unavoidable, take adequate countermeasures.
•Do not put a vinyl cover directly over the display unit or put it in a closed container.
•The ambient temperature should be in the range of 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F). Avoid exposure to
direct sunlight, hot air currents, or heated air.
Chips
Machine oil
Welder
Switchboard
(Locate more than 0.5 m/20" away.)
•If the power supply voltage is lower than specified, the display may not be illuminated even with
the power switch turned on.
Be sure to use the power in the specified range.
•Note that if the power is interrupted momentarily or the voltage drops temporarily below the
normal operating range, an alarm may operate or a malfunction may occur.
•Be sure to use the display unit inside.

2. Features
This display unit has functions especially suitable for milling which enable easy-to-learn
operations, reduced machining time and higher-accuracy machining.
Selectable minimum display unit
The minimum display unit can be selected from the following according to the connected scale.
Magnescale axes : 0.0005 mm, 0.001 mm, 0.005 mm, 0.01 mm and diameter display
(0.00002", 0.00005", 0.0001", 0.0005" and diameter display)
GA axes : 0.005 mm, 0.01 mm and diameter display
(0.0002", 0.0005", 0.001" and diameter display)
Digiruler axes : 0.01 mm, 0.02 mm, 0.05 mm, 0.1 mm and diameter display
(0.0005", 0.001", 0.002", 0.005" and diameter display)
Machine tool error compensation
The LH61 compensates errors arising from the inclination or deflection of a machine tool, and
displays the actual displacement of the machine. Thus, the displayed value accords with the
actual displacement of a workpiece to achieve high-accuracy positioning and machining and
restoration of machine tool accuracy.
Data storage function
Data on display and preset data are held automatically.
Therefore, data is retained even after power is turned off or in case of a temporary power outage.
Touch sensor
The Touch sensor (option) facilitates the setting of a datum point and the measurement of a
workpiece.
Scale absolute zero point detection function
When a scale with built-in absolute zero point is connected, the absolute zero point on the scale
(fixed point) can be detected wherever the scale stands. The detected fixed point is useful as the
absolute zero point for machining.
Moreover, any offset amount from the absolute zero point can be set and recalled easily, which is
useful for setting the absolute zero point on a boring machine or the like.
Programming
Program creation mode
•Manual programming in EDIT mode.
•Playback programming: program is made as maching is actually performed.
Program execution mode
•Machining sequence is displayed step by step.
•The data for each axis can be reversed with the mirror image function.
Bolt hole circle
•Bolt hole positions are automatically calculated and displayed by entering parameters such as
the circle center/diameter and number of holes.
Multidatum point
Up to 10 points can be stored in memory in ABS coordinates.
RS232C input/output
The following input/output is possible via RS232C.
•Key operation input and display data output.
•Program data input and output.

!Cautions on Operation
1) When a malfunction occurs, characters as shown in “9. Alarm Display” on page 73 are
displayed in place of numerals.When the alarm display appears, press the
RESET
key for the
relevant axis and repeat the operation.
2) If two or more operation keys are pressed simultaneously, a malfunction may be caused.
3) Make sure that the least significant digit of an entered value agrees with the selected resolution.
5. Operation
5-1. Initial Settings
Before staring the operation, make the following initial settings:
5-1-1. Setting the resolution and polarity
5-1-2. Setting resolution
5-1-3. Setting linear campensation
5-1-4. Setting the scaling
5-1-5. Setting offset value ∆Y
5-1-7. Setting of touch sensor radius
5-1-8. RS232C setting
5-1-9. Setting inch/mm switching
•Skip unnecessary initial settings by pressing an Axis selector key, and proceed to the next setting.
•After all the initial settings are completed, press the
RESET
key. The value that was displayed before
the power was turned off is displayed, and the unit is switched to the measurement mode.
•By pressing the
RESET
key at any time during initial setting, the value that was displayed before
the power was turned off is displayed, and the unit is switched to the measurement mode.
•The initial settings, once made, are stored even if the power is turned off. Therefore the initial
settings are necessary only when the system is newly installed or when any setting revision is
required.
To set the initial setting mode
The resolution set for each axis will be displayed.Hold down the X-axis
