2.2 Connecting Cables
IMPORTANT • Connection should be made only after the
power to the main unit and to the partner device
of the connection have been turned off. Other-
wise, the counter main unit and the connected
device will be damaged.
• Use a 12 - 24VDC power supply with a control
output current of 1A or greater. Do not draw
power from a source which is used by high-
power equipment.
• Do not route the power cable, I/O cable, RS-
232C cable, RS LINK cable, or gage connec-
tion cable with other power cables.
• Use a shielded I/O cable not longer than 3m.
• Always ground.
• Each cable should be secured (to, for example,
the main body of the device).
2.2.1 Connecting gages
(1) Sequentially connect the required number of linear gages to
the corresponding connectors, starting with the INPUT A
connector.
(2) If the EV-16P or EV-16Z is connected to a gage that does
not have a resolution of 1µm, refer to section 3.1 Setting
Parameters (with D-EV) and section 3.2 Setting Param-
eters (with EV Counter) to adjust the resolution.
NOTE • The gage resolution has been factory-set to 1mm.
• It is not necessary to modify the resolution on the EV-
16D.
(3) Set the parameter for designating available axes according
to the number of gages to be connected.
(Refer to section 3.1 Setting Parameters (with D-EV) and
section 3.2 Setting Parameters (with EV Counter)).
