• One or more EF Counters can be combined with the
EV Counters. However, if this is done, a maximum of
six EF Counters can be combined. A D-EV, if in-
serted, will not be included in the number of con-
nected units.
• The maximum total length of the RS LINK cables
used in the entire system is 10m.
• Consult Mitutoyo to construct a system with more
than 10 counters and/or a total cable length greater
than 10m.
6.2 Start-Up Method
Start up the entire system with the following procedure.
(1) Either turn on the power to all the EV Counters/D-EVs si-
multaneously or turn on the power sequentially, starting
from the top EV Counter/D-EV. The initial setup will com-
mence.
During initial setup, the D-EV displays a flashing "-----".
(2) If the initial setup has been completed, the flashing "-----"
on the D-EV will fix (indicating the counting stand-by
state).
(3) Quit the counting stand-by state by either pressing the
P.SET key or by inputting an external HOLD or RS com-
mand. (Refer to section 8.4 List of Error Outputs.)
NOTE • RS-232C-related parameters can only be modified on
the top counter.
• If the existing parameters are modified, reset the
power to all the connected counters.
• Always set the start-up mode to the counting stand-by
mode (factory-set default).
