Power-On Position Recovery
Position-Trac
Certain ACU-RITE encoders, such as the ENC 150, contain closely-spaced
reference marks that enable the display to show the correct position after a power
interruption. The readout will indicate when power has been lost, and will prompt
you to move each axis until a reference mark is located. By traversing the
reference marks once in each axis, you will re-establish the display position
relative to the last known zero. The most you will ever have to move an axis is
about one inch. You must move in a positive count direction. A flashing decimal
point will indicate that the last position has not been recalled.
If you use an encoder that does not have the Position-Trac feature, the procedure
for recovering your position is slightly different. Reference marks on these
encoders are about 8” apart. You must find a convenient reference mark and then
use the same mark every time.
1.
Move near the desired reference mark.
2.
Press and hold the ABS
INCR
key until the decimal point starts to flash.
3.
Move slowly past the reference mark until the readout recalls its
position. You must move in a positive direction.
