Sensor Adjustment..................19 Troubleshooting Guide................. 20 We would like to thank you for purchasing the TMG-1200 non-contact monitor. This guide consists of four parts: Introduction, Basic Operation, Applied Operation and Maintenance. Prior to operation, please read the TMG-1200 guide thoroughly.
The multi mode is a multi-slide or progressive header (Two sensors are necessary only in the case of using the multi mode.) The TMG-1200 can be setup for operation in any of these modes. Refer to the contents of Section “System Setting”.
(mean value ) display. 2. Set point display - Displays the monitoring range between the upper and lower limits. When the display shows a deviation exceeding the limit values, the TMG-1200 displays a fault condition. 3. Bar display – Displays the deviation from the set point. The left side of the bar display is the “-“...

In normal operation, pushing this button causes the red lamp to flash and turns off fault detection. Pushing it again stops flashing of the red lamp and cancels the bypass state. Page 5 TMG-1200 Instruction Manual...
The procedures are described below. 1. At setup for material supply, etc., press the Reset button to cause the TMG-1200 to go to the by-pass state. Push the reset button again cancels the bypass state.
Set table range: Absolute Value: 0 to 500 µm (in units of 10 µm.) Mean Value: 0 to 99 µm (in units of 1 µm.) • Setting the absolute value to "0" turns off absolute value detection. Page 7 TMG-1200 Instruction Manual...
4. Resetting of batch counter When you wish to reset the batch counter to “0”, push the batch counter reset button. In this case, the fault output cannot be cancelled even when the fault detection signal is being output. Page 8 TMG-1200 Instruction Manual...
–10 to 50°C Retention temperature range –20 to 75°C Humidity 10-85% RH max. (Wet bulb temperature shall be less than 29°C for prevention of dew condensation.) • Accessories Sensor 2 (Sanksu GS-14M) User’s guide Page 9 TMG-1200 Instruction Manual...
Slow changes over time NOT canceled. • Fault detection range set wider (±20 microns typ.) to prevent nuisance alarms. • Changes over time detected (loss of lubrication, machine heat up / cool down, changes in material hardness, etc.) Page 10 TMG-1200 Instruction Manual...

In addition, the detection range can be made smaller so this detection mode is suitable for minute fault detection. Page 12 TMG-1200 Instruction Manual...
• Slowdown detection The TMG-1200 has a slowdown detection function. When the rpm of the machine has decreased due to machine trouble, this function stops the machine. The rpm when the machine was started in the continuous mode is kept in memory. When the rpm becomes lower than that at the start by more than the set value, a fault signal is produced and the screen display shows that the machine has stopped due to slowdown.
Details of System Setting The operation of the TMG-1200 can be varied by system setting to enable the device to be used in various ways. Being preset, system settings items do not need to be changed. How to change them is described below.

Set the output time (one shot) of the counter output relay which provides an output signal when the preset counter value agrees with the preset set point. The set table time is 0.5-25 seconds in units of 0.1 second. Initial value: 1 second Page 15 TMG-1200 Instruction Manual...

When the machine is in the stop state, the bar display measures and shows the distance of clearance at all times. When the machine is operating, it measures and shows the distance of the smallest clearance within one stroke. Page 19 TMG-1200 Instruction Manual...
It disappears upon completion of reference value sampling. However, when machine stops, “sampling” is indicated and the device gets in the wait state for sampling. Page 20 TMG-1200 Instruction Manual...
