Introduction 1.0 Introduction 1.1 EMC AND LOW VOLTAGE COMPLIANCE The B60 Readout conforms to the relevant European standards for electromagnetic compatibility and low voltage directive as detailed below. BS EN 61000-6-4: Electromagnetic compatibility. Generic Emission Standard - Industrial Environment BS EN 61000-6-2: Electromagnetic compatibility.
This symbol appears on the equipment and refers to the safety aspects detailed below. 2.1 MOUNTING B60 is supplied with a fixing kit consisting of a M10 stud, nut and washers. Figure 1.2b shows use of this in conjunction with a mounting arm.
] key. The B60 is configured as a generic Digital Readout in either a 2 or 3 axes version. As such it must be con- figured for the machine type to which it is to be operated on if the benefits of the machine specific functions are to be had.
Set-Up 3.1 MACHINE TYPE The B60 can be configured to act in Lathe, Mill or Basic mode. See Section 6.0 for details on machine specific functions. In Set-Up press the [ abs/inc ] key until the [ A ] axis shows the legend “TYPE”. The [ A ] axis will show the current setting.

] or [ A ], switches between radius and diameter readings for that axis. When the B60 is displaying the choices you wish to use, press [ abs/inc ] to continue to the next option. 3.7 LINEAR ERROR COMPENSATION This option allows you to apply a constant correction factor to all measurements displayed. This factor is expressed in parts per million (PPM).
User Instructions 4.0 User Instructions 4.1 OPTIONS B60 is available in two either 2 or 3 axes display options Figure 1.4 shows the layout of the various keypad configurations. 4.2 USING THE KEYPAD Figure 1.4 shows the layout of the keypad. The keys are used as follows:...

As an alternative to resetting the axes, you can enter the coordinates relative to the current incremental position. Each time you switch to incremental mode, the B60 display will show the position relative to the last reset position while in the incremental mode.
Each time the B60 is powered up the cabinet will automatically use Digifind to compensate for any axis movement of up to ±6mm (±0.25”) for Spherosyn and ±2.5mm(±0.098”) for Microsyn.
While the B60 has been set to datahold, the keypad will not function and the displays will be blank. If the machine axis is moved, "D D I I S S P P L L A A C C D D " (displaced) will appear in the display window. The B60 will continue to record all encoder movement and will update the display once datahold is cancelled.
6.1 B60 MILL FUNCTION The B60 offers Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD) in addition to the Standard functions. PCD is also known as “Bolt Hole Circle”. The convention for angular position is that the 0 degree position is at 3 o’clock and positive angles are measured anti-clockwise.
