Initial Setup - Accurate Technology ProScale 950 Series Quick Start Manual

Initial Setup:

Follow these steps to configure your readout for initial use:
1. When the readout is first powered on, it may show a No Enc message.
This means there is not an encoder connected to the readout. To clear
the message, connect a compatible encoder.
2. When an encoder is first connected, the readout may show No Pos.
This informs the user that a position has not been programmed yet. For
the initial setup, use the DATUM, and PLUS keys to set a POSITIVE
starting value. (Any POSITIVE value will work for now.)
3. Choose the units that will be initially used (millimeters, inches, or
fractions). Each press of the UNITS key will change the units that are
displayed. (The screen will show the units description each time the
UNITS key is pressed.)
4. Check the reading direction:
a) With the readout showing a POSITIVE number on the screen,
move the encoder system a short distance.
b) Take note if the displayed value increased or decreased.
c) If the displayed value got larger/smaller, and this IS correct for your
installation, no further steps are needed.
d) If the displayed value got larger/smaller, and this IS NOT correct for
your installation, the reading direction needs to be reversed. This
can be accomplished two ways:
i.
ii.
5. Calibrate the readout. Since there are many thousands of applications
for ProScale systems, all calibration methods cannot be described
here. However, the general steps are the same.
a. Determine what value the readout should be showing.
b. Use the DATUM, PLUS, and MINUS keys to adjust the reading

If your encoder system is a Model 19, 29, 190, 290, 390, or
590 type, you can rotate the encoder 180 degrees on the
scale.
If the encoder cannot be rotated, or if the encoder is a
Model 150 or Model 250 system, the reading direction
must be reversed using the programming mode, parameter

on the screen to match desired value. NOTE: To rapidly adjust
the value, press and hold the PLUS or MINUS key down. (The
update speed will increase every 2 seconds the key is held.)
