DD51-E

Features and applications

DD51-E position indicators, with battery power supply, can be used on passing through shafts in any position to provide the reading of the absolute or incremental positioning of a machine component.

The 5-digit display of 8,0 mm height ensures excellent readability even from a distance and from different viewing angles.

The window in transparent technopolymer protects the LCD display against accidental shocks.

In the operating mode, by using the 3 function keys, it is possible to select the incremental or the absolute mode, the unit of measure (mm, inches or degrees), reset the absolute counter or load a preset source value and the preset offset value.

In the programming mode, through the 3 function keys, it is possible to program the reading after one revolution of the shaft, the direction of rotation, the display orientation, the resolution (number of decimal digits displayed), the source value and the offset value, the max. speed of rotation and set the functions of the keys among different options available.

The internal battery has a battery life of 3 years. A specific symbol appears on the display when the battery needs replacing. It is easy to replace the battery by removing the front cover (Fig. 1) without having to remove the indicator from the drive shaft and without losing the configuration parameters.

Further technical information available in Operating instructions.

 

(1) See the operating instructions.

(2) Default: 600 r.p.m.

Higher rotation speed to 600 r.p.m. can be mantained for short periods of time.

The value of the max. speed affects the battery life.

Battery life depends on the conditions of use (setup, temperature, ...). The indicated value is an estimate made in temperature conditions > 20 ° C and <30 °C, and default setup. Furthermore, this value refers to the condition of the device when it leaves the Elesa factory. Long storage times must always be considered for the estimation of the battery life when the device becomes operational.

Assembly instructions

1. Drill a Ø 6x10 mm hole in the body of the machine with a 22 mm centre distance from the shaft to fit the rear referring pin.
2. Fit the indicator onto the shaft and make sure that the referring pin fit the hole.
3. Clamp the bushing to the shaft by tightening the grub screw with hexagon socket and cup end, according to UNI 5929-85.
