GENERAL
Overview
This manual will guide you through the installation, setup, and operation
of the 100S system. Use it to get your system up and running “out of the
box” and as a quick reference guide for your day-to-day operations.
Here’s how a typical machine will look after the installation is complete:

Installing the Readout
Follow the readout installation instructions that are included with your
mounting arm bracket kit. The electrical specifications for the readout
are listed on pg. 28.
Installing the Scales
Please see the manual included with the scale for installation instructions.
3
Power Up
Press the switch on the back of the readout to power up the system. A
series of tests will check that the display, keypad, and memory are all
working properly.
If a problem is detected, an error code will appear on the screen. (Error
messages and solutions are listed on pgs. 26 - 27.) It is important to
note that the E1 message will appear every time you power up your
system and does not indicate a problem. It merely indicates that the
system had lost power. To acknowledge the message, press the CLEAR
key and proceed to the DRO mode.
Note:
If the E1 message appears at any other time during normal
operation, refer to pg. 26 for possible problems and solutions.
When the system is not used for more than 90 minutes, a decimal point
will “scroll” across the X-axis display, indicating that the display saver
has been activated. The display saver, like a screen saver on a computer
monitor, will help prolong the life of your readout.
If the display saver has been activated, press any key on the readout or
move any axis to return to the normal DRO view.

SETUP
There are five to six parameters that you can define on your system:
• Display resolution (diS)
• Linear error compensation (LEC)
• Scale resolution (rES)
• Scale count directions (Ct dir)
• Input 3 ON/OFF (InPUt 3) 2+ units only
• Position Recall (recall)
Establish each setting the first time you power up the system. You can
change the parameters later by returning to Setup and then using the
ENTER key to scroll to the appropriate category.
Anytime you change the linear error compensation, or count direction
for an axis, the absolute and incremental displays for that axis will be
reset to 0. If you change these settings, you’ll need to reestablish the
datum point.
When in the Setup mode, use the CLEAR key when you want to backspace, restore the previous value or access the previous parameter.

SETUP
The display resolution determines how detailed each scale’s position
will be displayed on the readout. Use the setting that best suits each job.
Display Resolution
To change the display resolution:
• Press the SETUP key. (“diS” will show on the display.)
• Press the
X or Z key for the display you want to change.
For 10µm scales, the display resolution will toggle between 0.01 mm
(0.0005”) and 0.02 mm (0.001”). For 5µm scales, it will toggle
between 0.005 mm (0.0002”) and 0.01 mm (0.0005”). For 1µm scales,
it will toggle between 0.001 mm (0.00005”) and 0.002 mm (0.0001”).
• After you complete setting your display resolution, press ENTER to
continue with setup or press ENTER then SETUP to return to the normal DRO display.

SETUP
Linear Error Compensation
With 100S, you can compensate for machine tool wear. If you know the
linear error compensation (LEC) value in parts-per-million (PPM), you
can enter it directly.
If you don’t know the LEC, use the formula on the next page to determine
the value for each axis.
• Move to the “Linear Error Compensation” display in the Setup
mode. (Press SETUP and then the ENTER key until “LEC”
appears).
• Press the
X or Z key for the axis you want to change.
100S will display the current LEC value for that axis.
• Using the keypad, enter the linear error compensation factor
(in PPM), followed by the ± key for negative values. The number
must be within -9999 and 9999 (use whole numbers). The formula for
calculating the value is on the next page.
• After you complete setting your LEC, press ENTER to continue with
setup or press ENTER then SETUP to return to the normal DRO
display.
To change the linear error compensation:

x 1,000,000
S = Standard length
M = Measured length
• In the DRO mode.
• Place a standard of known length on the machine. Make sure it’s
parallel with the axis being measured.
• Put the readout in the absolute display mode (
ABS/INCR key).
• Using an indicator, locate one end of the standard.
• Press the
ZERO key twice for the axis you are measuring.
“0” should appear on the display.
• Move the indicator along the axis until it reaches the opposite
end of the standard.
• Write down the length that is shown on the readout display for
that axis.
• Use the formula below to calculate the LEC for the axis you just
measured. Enter the result in the LEC parameter (previous page).
How to Determine the Linear Error Compensation
Follow this procedure for each axis:
Formula
Example
If the length of the
standard you used is
10” and the measured
length is 9.995”, then
the LEC for that axis
is 500 parts-per-million (PPM).

x 1,000,000
LEC =
500 PPM
(rounded to the nearest
whole number)
Note
: If the measured length is greater than the standard length the
LEC value will be negative.

SETUP
• Move to the “Count Direction” display in the Setup mode. (Press
SETUP and then the ENTER key until “Ct dir” appears).
• Press the appropriate axis key (
X or Z). The current count direction
(1 or 2) will appear.
• After you complete setting your count direction, press ENTER to continue with setup or press ENTER then SETUP to return to the normal
DRO display.
To change the count direction:
Count Direction
Use the count direction setting to define the positive counting direction
for each scale. The direction will be displayed as a “1” or a “2” (the
numbers are not assigned to a particular direction). You only need to
change the count direction if the scale is counting in the negative
direction during a positive move, or vice versa.
Refer to Conventions on pg. 32 for more guidelines.

SETUP
Scale Resolution
To ensure accurate readings, the scale resolution shown for each axis must
correspond with the resolution of the scales on your machine.
T
o change the scale resolution:
• If necessary, choose “Scale Resolution” from the Setup menu.
(Press SETUP and then the ENTER key until the screen appears).
• Press the appropriate axis key (X, Y or Z) until the appropriate resolution appears. Choose 0.01 mm for 10µm (0.0005”) scales, 0.005 mm
for 5µm (0.0002”) and 0.001 mm for 1µm (0.00005”)scales.
• Repeat the procedure for each axis.
• Press
ENTER to continue with Setup.
Input 3 On/Off (2+ units only)
This parameter allows you to activate the third input. When this input
is enabled, Inputs 2 and 3 will be coupled on the Z-axis (both scales
will count on the Z-axis). The Input 3 scale must have the same scale
resolution as the Input 2 scale.
When Input 3 is enabled, additional parameters will need to be setup.
Refer to the procedures on pages 6-8 for setting up the Linear Error
Compensation and Count Direction Setup functions.
Position Recall
• Set this parameter to the ON position to store the last position
of each axis when power is turned off.
