I – 3 Basic Functions of the ND 280

Switching on the ND 280

Switch on the ND 280. The power switch is located
on the back of the ND. After switching the ND 280 on,
or after a power failure, the power-up screen will
appear (see Fig. I.10). The green LED on the front
panel lights up. The power-up screen shows the
position display unit model as well as the ID and
version number of the currently installed software.
Press the LANGUAGE soft key if you want to change the
conversational language (see Fig. I.11). Press ENTER to confirm your
selection.
Press the HELP soft key to call the integrated help system.
Press any key to call the standard screen.
Your ND 280 is now ready for operation in the Actual Value operating
mode. If an incremental encoder is connected to the ND, the REF
symbol is flashing. At this point the reference mark evaluation should
be completed (see "Reference mark evaluation" on page 21).
If an absolute encoder is connected to the ND, the encoder
automatically transmits the absolute position value to the position
display unit.

If necessary, you can change the language later, see
"Language" on page 33.

To update your software version (firmware version), see
"Software update (firmware update) installation" on page
66.

The idle time after which the ND activates the screen
saver can be defined (factory default setting: 120 min,
see "Console adjustment" on page 33). The red LED on
the front panel lights up. To reactivate the screen, press
any key or move the encoder.

You can deactivate the power-up screen in order to
display the standard screen immediately after power up
(see "Counter settings" on page 48).
