7. E86N TRANSMITTER
7.1 Description
There are currently two types of transmitters:
•
STANDARD TRANSMITTER
on which the various types of probes are fixed using suitable flanges
•
COMPACT TRANSMITTER
with the probe incorporated in the transmitter
The transmitter sends the antenna the following information needed by the CNC to process the measurement:
•
Probe status: probe with finger in home position/probe with finger deflected
•
Battery status: charged or low
A green LED (L) indicates the status of the probe, the battery and the transmission:
LED permanently lit
1 flash every 2s
2 flashes every 2s
Standard transmitters may in turn be divided into:
•
TRANSMITTERS WITH RADIO ACTIVATION:
The transmission is activated by a signal sent by the antenna.
•
TRANSMITTERS WITH MECHANICAL ACTIVATION:
The transmission is activated by the microswitch (H) on the tool taper.
The microswitch is not present in the transmitter with radio activation.
CAUTION:
Mechanical activation is only available on Standard transmitters, not on compact transmitters.
For details on how to programme the transmitter see sec. 10.2 "Programming the Transmitter" on page 75.
