QUANTiC quick-start guide

This section is a quick-start guide to installing a QUANTiC readhead. More detailed information on installing the readhead is contained on

The optional Advanced Diagnostic Tool ADTi-100

Move the readhead along the scale at slow speed (< 100 mm/s), without passing a reference mark, until the LED starts double flashing Blue.

If a reference mark is not being used, the calibration routine should now be

exited by cycling the power. The LED will stop flashing.

The system is now calibrated and ready for use. Calibration values, Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and Automatic Offset Control (AOC) status, are stored in readhead non-volatile memory at power down.

NOTE: If calibration fails (LED remains single flashing Blue), restore factory defaults by obscuring the readhead optical window on power-up

For more details refer to the Advanced Diagnostic Tool ADTi-100 and ADT View software User guide (Renishaw part no. M-6195-9413) and Advanced Diagnostic Tool ADTi-100 and ADT View software Quick-start guide (Renishaw part no. M-6195-9321).

Ensure scale, readhead optical window and mounting faces are clean and free from obstructions.

If required, ensure reference mark selector magnet is correctly positioned

Connect the readhead to receiving electronics and power-up. The set-up LED on the readhead will flash.

Install and align the readhead to maximise signal strength over the full axis of travel as indicated by a Green flashing LED.

Cycle the power to the readhead to initiate the calibration routine. The LED will single flash Blue.
