2.0: Safety Summary
This Equipment is designed as Safety Class I
apparatus to comply with EN61010-1.
Service Safety
This equipment has been designed and tested to
meet the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive
(1997) and has been supplied in a safe condition.
This manual contains information and warnings that
must be followed by the user to ensure safe
operation and to retain the apparatus in a safe
condition.
Terms in this Manual
WARNING statements identify conditions or
practices that could result in personal injury or loss
of life.
CAUTION statements identify conditions or practices
that could result in damage to the equipment or
other property.
Symbols in this Manual
This symbol indicates where applicable
cautionary or other information is to be found.
Power source
Apply no more than 265V rms (AC) between supply
conductors or conductor and ground.

2.0: Safety Summary (continued)
WARNING: Do not operate in an explosive
atmosphere
WARNING: Do not remove covers or panels
To avoid personal injury, do not remove covers and
panels. Do not operate the equipment without the
covers and panels fitted. There are no internal
adjustments required during commissioning the
equipment.
Warning: Danger arising from loss of ground
During a fault condition and upon loss of protective
ground (earth) connection, all accessible conducting
parts - including controls that might appear to be
insulated - can render an electric shock.
CAUTION: Use correct Fuse
To avoid a fire hazard, use the correct fuse
type, voltage and current rating as specified for
the equipment. Refer fuse replacement to
qualified service personnel.
Grounding the equipment
The unit is grounded through the mains lead: to
avoid electric shock, plug the power lead into a
properly-wired receptacle before connecting to the
input or output terminals. A protective ground
connection by the way of the grounding conductor in
the power lead is essential for safe operation.

Replacing the fuse
At the rear right of the Digital Readout remove
the fuse cover of the IEC320 connector and
replace the fuse with the same type and value.
This equipment contains no user serviceable parts
other than the fuse.
This equipment must be returned to your Omega
dealer for all other service and repair.
Dismantling the unit will invalidate the warranty.

4.0: Measurement Configurations
Individual probe-connection of one Linear
Encoder or Digital Probe.
Probe pair-connection of 2 probes
configured as A+B or A-B.
Probes may be plugged directly into the rear panel
recessed receptacle.
Multiple probes-up to 10 individual probes
or probe pairs (A+B or A-B)
each allocated to a program.
Scan-connection of up to 30
probes (Linear Encoders
and/or Digital Probes) and
allocated to a single
program.
Refer to Digital Benchtop Meter User Manual to
configure the options.
To connect more than 2 probes to the Digital Readout,
use the Orbit Network Connection System.
When more than 10 probes are connected to the Digital
Readout a supplementary power supply interface
module will be required (Omega Part No. LDN-PS).
