Restoring factory defaults

NOTE: Restoring factory defaults can also be carried out using the optional ADTi-100 and ADT View software.
See
www.renishaw.com/adt
for more information.
When realigning the readhead, reinstalling the system, or in the case of continued calibration failure, factory defaults should be restored.
To restore factory defaults:
Switch system off.
Obscure the readhead optical window or connect the 'Remote CAL' output pin to 0 V.
Power the readhead.
Remove the obstruction or, if using, the connection from the 'Remote CAL' output pin to 0 V.
The LED will start continuously flashing indicating factory defaults have been restored and the readhead is in installation mode (flashing set-up LED).
Check the readhead mounting / installation and recalibrate the system.
Switching Automatic Gain Control (AGC) on or off
NOTE: AGC can also be switched on or off using the optional ADTi-100 and ADT View software.
See
www.renishaw.com/adt
for more information.
The AGC is automatically enabled once the system has been calibrated (indicated by a Blue LED). AGC can be manually switched off by connecting the 'Remote CAL' output pin to 0 V for > 3 seconds < 10 seconds.
The LED will then be solid Green.
