Page 12: Measuring Input Addresses
When you use an IMB-rf1 module together with other IMB-modules in one C200, then you must install the IMB-rf1 module as the last module of the C200 ( upper position ). Because the C200 supports only eight chan- nels and the IMB-rf1 has already eight channels, all other... -
Page 13: Connecting Several Column Gauges
Instruction Manual C200 2.5 Connecting several column gauges IMB-cas type adapter cables are utilized to connect several column gauges. The adapter cables fulfil two tasks : 1.) Transferring the supply voltage from the first column gauge to the next. One power supply module can supply power to a maximum of 3 column gauges, depending on the connected probes, sensors and measuring instruments. -
Page 14: Power Supply Connection
The module allows quick battery replacement. Rechargeable batteries with capacities of 1850 / 4000 and 5500 mAh are available. ( Example : C200 with 2 inductive probes and a 4000 mAh battery pack can operate for approx. 12 to 15 hours ) -

Page 22: Description Of The Calibration Mode
Attention : Once a gauge has been calibrated with 2 masters, the amplification ( pneumatic : spread ) determined for this gauge is permanently stored inside the C200. Hence, for measuring operation the C200 could be switched to zero adjustment using only 1 master. -
Page 23: Probe Setup
Instruction Manual C200 3.4.2 Probe setup Inductive probes achieve their greatest degree of accuracy within a comparatively small measuring range only. It is therefore extremely important to carefully set up the probes at the electric zero point. On selection of the AdJuSt menu, the two-digit numeric display shows the measuring input P1 and the six-digit numeric display indicates the “raw value”... -
Page 24: Description Of The Programming Menu
Instruction Manual C200 3.5 Description of the programming mode Turn the encoder clockwise ( CW ) to switch from the Measuring Mode to the Programming Mode. - The six-digit numeric display indicates ‘ProGr.’. Programming menus : You can select the first menu by pushing the encoder button. - Page 25 Instruction Manual C200 Turn the encoder to select the desired number of the flashing point and then confirm by pushing the encoder button. The nominal value determines the value at which the zero point is indicated on the column (no deviation) display.
- Page 26 Instruction Manual C200 The MEASURING INPUTS menu enables assigning the measuring inputs ( P1 to P8 ) to the currently se- lected gauge ( C1…C8 ). The 8 inputs can be linked in any order ( e.g.: P1+P2, P1-P2, P1+P2 - P3+P4, etc. ).
- Page 27 In addition to the static measuring mode, the C200 column gauge also has several dynamic measuring modes available. Each of the 8 gauges ( C1 to C8 ) can be assigned its own measuring mode without any restriction.

GAGES Push the encoder button to select the menu. Turn the encoder to browse through the individ- ual gauges from C1 to C8. - Page 30 C200 In the Basic Setup menus L2 to L5 controlling of the C200 via the encoder button and the foot or hand switch connections Ft1, Ft2 as well as the IMB foot switch Ft3 is set. The encoder button and each one of the 3 foot or hand switch connections can be assigned any function from the list.
- Page 31 The activation of the trAnS mode freeze-frames the numeric and column display of the C200 column gauge. Every time a programmed input ( Encoder button, Ft1, Ft2, Ft3 ) is actuated, the currently measured value will be displayed. hold The activation of the hold mode effects that the display is freeze-framed while the programmed input is actuated ( Encoder button, Ft1, Ft2, Ft3 ).
- Page 32 Instruction Manual C200 GrAdE The grading mode can be activated or deactivated independently for each gauge ( C1 to C8 ) in this menu. The number of grading groups ( classes ) can be set from 1 to 30 and deter- mines in how many, equal fields the tolerance range is split.
