Adjusting the REXM/REXT ring (full and partial rotation) 1. Remove the protective film from the surface of the ring. 2. Measure the run-out on the ring using a Dial Test Indicator (DTI). CAUTION: Use a DTI with low exertion force to avoid scratching the ring surface. A DTI with a ruby ball stylus is recommended as a further precaution against scratches.

Initialisation Initialisation is required at each power-up and after an error has occurred. If an alarm occurs, the DSi will automatically re-enter initialisation mode when the alarm condition is removed. For complete rotation: 1. Rotate the axis in one direction (either clockwise or anti- clockwise) until both readheads pass the reference mark.

During high-speed rotation, the blank flash of the LED as the axis passes the propoZ position may appear like a flashing green LED. If the LED continues flashing green check for correct position of the orientation switch and press and hold the propoZ button on switch-on. If you drive the axis past the propoZ position, the blank LED will appear as a 0.25 second flash. On recalibration, the old propoZ position will be lost. www.renishaw.com...
