Installation
IMPORTANT
Before installing the readout, record the serial number
on the warranty card and return it to ACU-RITE
INCORPORATED. The serial number label is located
on the back of the readout.
Selecting a location for the readout is an important consideration for proper installa-
tion. Keep the following points in mind when selecting a safe and convenient location:
•
The readout should be within reach of the operator for easy access to the keypad.
•
The readout should be approximately at eye level.
•
Avoid moving components and tools.
•
Minimize coolant splash or spray.
•
The operating environment must be within the temperature range of 0°C to 40°C
(32°F to 104°F) with a non-condensing relative humidity of 25% to 85%.
Selecting a Location
Proper Mounting
ACU-RITE has developed special mounting kits for the readout, which address the
most common mounting requirements. Mounting kits include:
•
Column and base machine mountings
•
Hardware and mounting instructions
These kits are available from your factory authorized ACU-RITE Distributor or
OEM/OEI. If you fabricate a support device for the readout, it should be large enough
and strong enough to accommodate the readout. It must also be stiff enough to mini-
mize any vibration induced by the machinery.
Connecting the Scales
Insert the connector from each scale into the mating connector on the back of the
readout. Fasten it with a small screwdriver.
Scale input 1 will be displayed in the readout's top display, input 2 in the next
display, and input 3 in the bottom display.
Provide enough slack in the scale cables to allow for full travel of all machine axes.
Check that machine movements will not pinch the cables. Use the cable tiedown
hardware kits supplied with the scales to fasten the cables neatly to the machine.
Connecting a Ground Wire
Connect a ground wire from the terminal on the back of the readout to the machine.
The machine should also be connected to a solid earth ground. If not, be sure that
the readout is grounded.
