2.0 INSTALLATION
2.1 Mounting
Select the location of the E-Series with due regard of safety and ease of operation. Keep it clear of moving parts and
coolant spray. Ensure that the natural ventilation around the Digital Sending Unit (DSU) is not restricted.
To ensure correct operation of the E-Series , it is recommended that the Digital Sending Unit (DSU) is grounded to
the machine from the equipotential terminal. A ground strap is provided in the fitting kit. The strap should be cut to a
suitable length once the DSU had been fixed to the machine. A terminal is provided for crimping to the ground strap.
This operation should be conducted by a suitably qualified engineer. The machine must also be grounded to a good
earth point.
The DP8 can be mounted in two basic ways as shown in Figure 2.1
(a) Mounting DSU separay (b) Mounting DSU with display
Figure 2.1 - Mounting Procedures
2.1.1 Display and Digital Sending Unit (DSU) mounted separay (Figure 2.1a)
The keypad/display unit incorporates an M10 tapped hole at the rear of the unit. The M10 hole can be used to mount
the display in any of the standard methods as shown in Figure 2.2. The M10 stud mount is provided as standard. The
swivel mount assembly (Part No. 600-80290), the E-Series mounting arm (Part No 294-40055) and the DSU mounting
assembly (Part No 600-65595) are all optional items as detailed on the price list.

----------------------- Page 5-----------------------Installation
The DSU is normally mounted on a vertical face on the rear of the machine. The DSU facilitates the fixing in 2, 3 or 4
point location. For metric applications drill and tap an M6 hole and locate the DSU by inserting one of the M6 bolts
provided. Ensure the DSU is level, mark the next location and drill and tap the second hole. Repeat this process for
the required number of fixing locations. For those customers requiring imperial (Inch) fittings, repeat the above
process substituting 1/4 inch UNC tapped hole and bolts.
Note: The fitting kit includes both the metric and imperial fittings. The metric fittings are zinc
coated whereas the imperial fittings are black
The DSU is connected to the keypad/display via a 3.5 metre 9 pin “D” type cable. The cable can only be connected in
one direction. Once connected, secure the cable at both ends using the slotted locking screws.
Please note, as shown in Figure 2.1, the encoder and mains leads should be positioned underneath the DSU to avoid
any ingress of coolant.

N The mains supply is connected through a detachable supply cord. The Digital Readout is supplied with a cord with a
right-angle connector. If another supply cord is used, it must have fitted a IEC320, 10A, EARTHED mains connector
with a cord rated for at least 10A.
The PROTECTIVE EARTH CIRCUIT of the mains supply MUST BE CONNECTED to the protective earth terminal of
the DSU through the supply cord.
The supply cord should be secured with cable ties to ensure that it cannot drop into a hazardous position, ie. the
floor or coolant tray, when disconnected from the DSU.
The supply cord must be routed away from moving parts, swarf, coolant or sources of heat.
If a mains plug is not already fitted to the supply cord or is of the wrong type, then a suitable EARTHED plug should
be used which complies with the relevant specifications for plugs and socket-outlets.
The mains supply fuse is a 20x5mm, type T0.5A, 250V. It is not to be replaced by the operator. If the fuse blows it is a
possible indication of some significant problem with the power source. Check the supply and wiring carefully. If the
fuse is replaced, the DSU must first be disconnected from the supply by the removal of the IEC socket from the inlet.
This connector is the primary disconnect device for the equipment and must be accessible at all times. Do not
position the equipment so that it is difficult to operate the disconnect device.
NOTE: If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Equipotential terminal for grounding the DSU to the machine. Refer to section 2.1.
Caution. Refer to section 2.2 before connection to the mains supply.

2.3 Encoder Connection
Figure 2.3 shows the connection sockets on the DSU. The E-Series is designed for use with Newall Spherosyn and
Microsyn encoders only. The encoders are connected to the DSU with 9-pin D Type connectors.
Switch off the E-Series before connecting or disconnecting the encoders. To fit the connectors into the appropriate
socket on the back of the E-Series , first align the connector and then push firmly in place.and secure with the locking
bolts. To remove the connector, disengage the locking mechanism and pull the connector clear.
The encoders and the display/keyboard are connected to the DSU at a separated extra low voltage (SELV) level. Any
additional interconnections must also be at SELV level.
2.4 Switching On
The mains supply switch for the E-Series is mounted on the side of the DSU as shown in Figure 2.3.
When you switch on the E-Series, the unit will automatically go through a brief self diagnostic routine.
During this routine, the name E70 will be shown, then the software version number will be displayed and all segments
of the displays will be lit.
After this routine, the unit will display measurements and is ready for use.
The E-Series can be switched off via the mains switch on the DSU. Alternatively, the keypad/display can be
switched off by pressing the key. Please note that the DSU remains under power when the key
is pressed.

On setting to incremental you can reset each axis by
pressing [Xo] [Yo] or [Zo].
As an alternative to resetting the axes, you can enter the coordinates relative to the current incremental position. If
done in a negative sense, the operator can move to “0.000” which may save a great deal of machining time.
Each time you switch to incremental mode, the E-Series will display the position relative to the last reset
position while in the incremental mode.

5.3 Digifind ref
The E-Series comes equipped with Digifind, a feature unique to Newall digital readout products. Digifind eliminates the
risk of losing your position and datum Set-Up.With Digifind, precise Set-Up of a workpiece is carried out only one
time.
When the E-Series is powered on, it displays the position at power off, compensated for any movement of a
Spherosyn transducer up to 0.2500" (6mm) and a Microsyn encoder up to 0.1000" (2.5mm) in either direction since
the unit was last used.This applies whether the E-Series was switched off intentionally or accidentally, i.e., a power fail-
ure. If the machine has moved beyond 0.2500" (6mm) - Spherosyn [0.1000" (2.5mm) - Microsyn], Digifind allows a
quick means to find the datum if lost.The E-Series will maintain the position for at least 30 days, the life of the battery
back-up.
There are two ways to use Digifind:
1. In conjunction with a machine or workpiece marker;
2. To find the last datum (absolute zero).
5.3.1 Using a Machine or Workpiece Marker
A mark must be made on both a stationary part and moving part of the machine.The marks must be aligned and will
serve as the machine "home" position. For example, the mark could be on the reader head and mill table, or a scribed
line on the lathe way and a corresponding line on the carriage.The mark must be indelible, and it must allow the oper-
ator to move the machine to within a 0.2500" (6 mm) -Spherosyn [0.1000" (2.5mm) - Microsyn ] band around the
mark at any time.
Alternatively, you can use a convenient reference point on the workpiece. This could be the datum position itself or
any other convenient point.The point can be highlighted with a marker for ease.The reference point must allow the
operator to position the machine to within a 0.2500" (6 mm) -Spherosyn [0.1000" (2.5mm) - Microsyn] band around
the mark.

5.4 Sub datums (SDM) zero ins. del.
D
F The E-Series can store up to 199 SDM (Sub-Datum) positions, or machining steps, in non-volatile memory.The posi-
U tions remain in memory even if the power has been turned off.
N
C Using SDM allows the operator to work to zero by calling up stored dimensions, instead of "working up" to print
T dimensions.This eliminates the need to constantly refer to the print, and reduces the possibility of scrapping parts due
I
O to mis-read dimensions. It also speeds up positioning because the operator works to zero.
N
S The SDMs are stored as co-ordinates relative to the absolute datum position. If the absolute datum position changes,
the SDMs will "shift" to the new datum.
SDMs provide the operator increased productivity in batch machining of parts. Once a repetitive sequence of co-ordi-
nates is entered into SDM, the co-ordinates can be recalled at any time.The positions remain in memory until altered
by the operator. Simply assign any SDM number 1 - 199 to each machining step.When machining, call up each step
(SDM) number and work to zero.
SDMs also reduce time for tool changes by giving the operator a fast and accurate method of returning to locations
for other operations.
SDMs also simplify machining parts with more than one datum point.The absolute zero or datum position is deter-
mined and set.Then the secondary datum positions are entered into SDM. Once the SDM co-ordinates are stored, the
operator can display co-ordinates relative to the SDM, as well as to the absolute datum position.
SDMs are stored by using one of the following two methods:
5.4.1 Method 1 (Teach Mode)
Using this method, move the machine to the position to be stored as the SDM. Use this method to avoid entering
print dimensions via the keypad.The operator "works up" to the dimensions on the print the first time. Each position
is stored in SDM by pressing the Teach key [SDM ZERO], once an SDM number has been selected.

When ever any axis display is less than (or equal to) the defined window, then a flashing '0' appears at the left of that
axis display.As the axis moves closer to the zero position the flash rate increases. When the axis is closer than
0.05mm (0.002”) to zero the “0” stops flashing and remains lit.

O The Tool Offset function allows the operator to enter and store offsets for a range of tools.This enables the operator
N to change tools without resetting absolute zero or datum. Using tool offsets insures that diameter and length mea-
S surements will remain consistent after tool changes.This speeds up tool changes and increases productivity as it elimi-
nates the need for the operator to stop and manually measure the diameter.
The number of Tool Offsets available is 99.This large number allows tools to be grouped where more than one set is
used. For convenience, it is highly recommended that Tools are physically marked with their corresponding Tool num-
ber. Also, it is recommended that an indexable style tool post be used to ensure that the tools are always in the same
position in the tool ost after the offsets are programmed.
The Tool Offset function involves two separate and distinct operations:
1. Entering Tool Offsets with the [TOOL SET] key
2. Using Tool Offsets with the [TOOL] key
The two separate functions insures against accidental loss or reprogramming of a tool offset dimension while in use.

8.1 Position Pulse Output
8.11 Purpose
The Position Pulse Output function on the E-Series provides a means by which external devices such as relays or pro-
grammable logic controllers (PLC’s) can be used to control a machine from the E-Series
Only low voltage connections may be made to the auxiliary input/output of the E-Series
8.12 Outputs
There are three optically isolated outputs for this function. These are transistor outputs with both the
collectors and emitters uncommitted, i.e. equivalent to voltage free contacts. The transistors are normally
in the ON state (normally closed contacts) and change to the OFF state when active. The rating of the
transistors is:-
Vc MAX = 30V
Ic MAX = 40mA

There is one input which may be used to reset the position pulse output function. This input is grounded to cause a
T
I reset. e.g. a switch or relay contact may be used.
O
N 8.14 Operation
There are two modes of operation; single axis or all axis.
(a) Single Axis Operation
Each one of the three outputs corresponds to a set position, position 1, 2 or 3, on one axis only. As that axis passes
through each of the set positions then the corresponding output will change from it’s normally ON state to OFF. The
direction of travel must be in the negative direction and each output will change just once and stay OFF until reset.
The outputs may be reset in one of three different ways;
i) by pressing the [ENT] key
ii) by means of the external input
iii) by returning the axis past a preset “reset” position.
Figure 8.3 illustrates single axis operation.
This mode of operation enables the E-Series to be easily connected to relays or a PLC for control on one axis.

Figure 8.3 Pulse Position Output (Single Axis)
(b) All Axis Operation
Each of the three outputs corresponds to one axis only. Three positions together with a reset position can be set for
each axis. As an axis passes through the first two set positions a pulse will occur on the output for that axis. As the
third position is reached then the output will change state to OFF and stay in that condition until a reset occurs. The
reset methods are as for single axis operation. As with single axis operation the direction of travel must be negative,
therefore the first and second positions must be set at more positive
values than the third. Figure 8.4 illustrates all axis operation.
The width of the output pulses may be set from 2ms up to 120ms.
In this mode of operation the E-Series may be easily connected to a PLC for control of one, two or three axes.

8.2 Remote Zero and Enter Inputs
8.21 Remote Zero
Three inputs are provided for the remote zero function, one for each axis X,Y or Z. When one of these inputs is

ing the [Xo], [Yo] or [Zo] keys.
8.22 Remote Enter
One input is provided for a remote enter. This input can be used as a remote [ENT] key. For example, it may be
required that the X axis be set to 25.0 whilst making fine adjustments at some distance away from the E-Series . Press
[X] [2] [5] on the E-Series keypad and, when ready, press the remote [ENT] switch.
