Digital Gauges: Frequently Asked Questions

This device combines with a gauge sensor to determine dimensions. It is compatible with all GS series models, both new and old.

(1) Front panel

<1> Display section

The measurement value is displayed in millimeters as a 5-digit number. If the measurement value is negative, the "-" indicator on the left will light up. If there is a measurement error, the displayed value will blink. (See the troubleshooting section.)

 

<2> RESET switch
Pressing the switch resets the displayed value, BCD output, and error output.

 

<3> PRESET1-4 Digital Switches
Set preset values for the determination process.

 

<4> PRESET GATE1～4
The indicator light illuminates red while a preset gate (1-4) is input from the rear panel terminal block. While the light is on, the judgment output is forcibly stopped and turned OFF.

 

<5> PRESET OUT1～4
The light illuminates when the set value meets the output conditions for each preset. Preset Output Conditions (Common to PRESET 1-4)
When the set polarity equals the measured polarity AND |set value| ≤ |measured value|

 

(2) Rear panel

<6> Power input terminals (No. 1, 2)
Input a power supply of AC 100V to 240V.

 

<7> Ground terminal (NO.3)
For safety and noise reduction, always ensure that the equipment is grounded.

 

<8> Preset Gate Input Terminals (NO.5-8)
If this terminal and the <9>COM terminal are short-circuited, the detection process will be forcibly stopped and the detection output will be turned off.

 

Input terminal	Preset gate
No.5	1
No.6	2
N0.7	3
No.8	4

 

<9> COM terminal (No.9)
This is a common terminal for preset gate signals.

 

<10> <11> <12> <13> Preset relay outputs (No. 10-17)
With one make contact output, it turns ON when the measured value meets the output conditions of presets 1 to 4.

	Input terminal	Preset Output
<10>	No.10 、No.11	1
<11>	No12 、No.13	2
<12>	No.14 、No.15	3
<13>	No.16 、No.17	4

 

<14> Hold input terminal (No. 20)
Short-circuiting this terminal with the <16>COM terminal will hold the displayed value and the BCD output. However, the judgment output will not be held.

 

<15> Reset terminal (No. 21)
Short-circuiting this terminal and the <16>COM terminal will reset the displayed value, BCD output, and error display and error output.

 

<16> COM terminal (No.22)
This is the common terminal for the hold signal and reset signal.

 

<17> BCD OUT connector
These are connectors for BCD output, judgment output, and external command signal input.

 

<18> SIG IN connector
Connect the signal cable for the gauge sensor.
