Just received an e-bay "deal"-a Mitutoyo Digimatic DRO with 13" and 30" scales. Seller said up front that system didn't work, but I took a chance. The unit arrived and looked to be almost unused (scales very clean and no wear on the display face or control buttons).
Display unit (p/n 982-573) shows error (E3) in both X and Y when scales are NOT plugged in. When I plug in both scales and turn on again, same error is displayed. Talked to Mitutoyo Service(Miguel) and he recommended cleaning scales with cotton swabs and alchohol. Did this...no change. I carefully dissasembled one scale. All looks very clean with spring in proper place, etc. Reassembled and tried again. No change (E3)
1) Is there any way of checking the scales without access to another display unit?
2) Is there anything that I can check with the display unit itself?
3) Does anyone have pinout information for the X and Y axes?
4) Any other ideas?
