3.2.6 Measurement with two Measuring Units (dual-unit measurement)
• The LSM-500S series Measuring Unit allows measurement to be performed with two
Measuring Units, if the optional dual-type add-on unit is provided.
To use two Measuring Units they must be the same model.
• About Measuring Unit 1 which is connected to “TRANSMITTER-1” side, and Measuring
Unit 2 which is connected to “TRANSMITTER-2” side
a) The W.P. (Work Position) LED shows the workpiece position of the Measuring Unit 1
when the least significant digit of program number between 0 and 4 is specified, and
that of the Measuring Unit 2 when the least significant digit of program number
between 5 and 9 is specified.
b) Select he least significant digit of program number between 0 and 4 to calibrate
Measuring Unit 1, and between 5 and 9 to calibrate Measuring Unit 2.

• If the dual-type add-on unit is mounted, select the type of dual-unit measurement in the
basic setup.
Note that if the type of dual-unit measurement is changed in the basic setup, calibration
values and function setups will be default-set.
• If the dual-type add-on unit is not set, the setup guidance for it will not be displayed.
• Suspended use of Measuring Unit
For repair or adjustment services one of the Measuring Units employed for dual-unit
measurement may be suspended from operation. If this is the case, turn off the power and
disconnect the Measuring Unit. If the Measuring Unit 1 has been disconnected, the
Measuring Unit 2 must be connected to the TRANSMITTER-1 while re-installing the
corresponding ID unit in place. After removal of one measuring unit, designate
in the basic setup (4.1.2.3 Selecting an setting the function in the B2 mode: d. Setting the
dual-unit measurement).
If one Measuring Unit is removed without this designation, “Err-8” will result and the
other Measuring Unit will also become inoperable.
Note that suspending one Measuring Unit will cause the calibration values and function
setups to be reset to their defaults.
• The type of dual-unit measurement includes DW-, DXY-, and DF-types.
