SPACE 2000 (T and M versions) OPERATION MANUAL
20
Millimeter - inch conversion
This function is used to convert millimeters to inches and vice-versa for
dimensions displayed on the SPACE 2000 axis displays.
If the system is working in inches, the “
INCH
”
LED lights up; otherwise the
dimensions displayed are expressed in millimeters.
When the SPACE 2000 is switched, it prepares for working in the conditions it was
in when switched off.
Remember that
“F5”
function works only on the dimension display and not for the
setting of values, which must always be expressed in millimeters. For this reason,
with the display working in inches, after each setting operation recognised in
millimeters, the SPACE 2000 performs the conversion required.
Necessary conditions:
the SPACE 2000 must be set in position display conditions ("POS" LEDs on)
Select the function by pressing the
following keys :
The
“F5”
message
appears on
the X-axis display to indicate the
choice of the function to be
enabled. All the LEDs except PWR
and the displays of the other axes
are switched off. The indication of
the origin/tool remains enabled.
In order to quit this selection and
return to the position display, press
the key :
In order to enable the function
selected, press:
The
“inch ON”
message
appears
on the X-axis display if "millimeter"
display conditions were enabled; if
"inch" display conditions were
enabled,
the
“inch
OFF”
.
message
appears on the X-axis
display.
The “INCH” LED of all the axes will
light up if the display is in “inch”
display conditions.
When the display set in "inch" is
switched on, the decimal point for
each axis displayed will shift to the
left by one digit for a more correct
resolution of the unit of measure.
Carefully check the conditions of
the “INCH” LEDs on the axes in
order to avoid committing serious
errors during working.
