Note
The settings can be changed while the program is being used
by calling up the Menu. The last setting applied is taken as
the default setting when the program is closed down
(this applies to the program display only, not to the measuring
system). In order to do this, the program sets up the additional
configuration file MEKOdata.cfg.

Influencing factors:
■ distance between the measuring heads and the dimensional
scale
■ incorrect mounting direction of the measuring head.
The system is now ready for operation.
No function – troubleshooting
The amplitude has been automatically set during adjustment to
a value that is too high or too low.
In this case:
■ change the distance between the sensors and the shaft
washer, apply the command New Sensor and readjust
(see page 6, Figure 4).
No green sine signal appears.
In this case:
■ rotate the shaft washer further. If the display does not
change
■ pay attention to the warning lights Signal and the size of
the YE and WH-indicators above the amplitude displays.
A bold image indicates that the offset of the sensor has been
found.
If the distance between the measuring head and the shaft
washer is too small, the red warning light will illuminate when
the bearing is rotated; i.e. increase the distance of the
sensors.
If the display remains green or yellow, align the sensor
more closely to the shaft washer. Then readjust using
the command New Sensor in the main program
(see Setting the distance between the measuring heads
and the shaft washer, page 6).

Error table
1) Adjustment:
An electronic evaluation system that is either new or has been reset using New Sensor must first detect the correction values for
the measuring heads (adjustment).
The sensor signals must have a sufficiently high amplitude for this purpose.
Adjustment of the sensors is carried out while moving the shaft washer.

Error, cause, remedy
Error Cause Remedy
6 No amplitude ■ Distance of measuring heads ■ Reduce the distance between the measuring heads and
No signals too large the shaft washer
■ Measuring heads fitted twisted ■ Fit the measuring heads such that the arrow points to
the bearing outer ring
■ Height offset of measuring heads ■ Check dimensions, set measuring heads to correct height
(⬇1 mm deviation from
nominal value)
7 Amplitude at one sensor ■ Other measuring heads fitted ■ Fit the measuring heads such that the arrow points to
only twisted the bearing outer ring
■ Distance of measuring heads ■ See item 6

8 Amplitude signal ■ Measuring heads fitted twisted ■ Fit the measuring heads such that the arrow points to
only every 15° the bearing outer ring
9 Amplitude loss, peak or ■ Transitional area of dimensional ■ An amplitude peak can occur intrinsically in the area of
jump at one or more points coding on shaft washer the zero mark
■ Defective shielding or earthing ■ Check integrity of cable shielding between electronic
evaluation system and CNC
■ Earth electronic evaluation system with short measuring tape
■ Shaft washer damaged ■ Send data record and description of error to INA

Diagnosis
Troubleshooting procedure
Clarify whether the measuring system was put into
operation with the Windows software MEKOEDS!
It cannot be put into operation without this software!
■ Seek possible remedies in the troubleshooting table
(see page 10).
■ Perform the necessary data recording. The steps are given
in the section Data recording procedure (see page 13).

Data recording procedure

– passed to the INA external sales force or
– evaluated using Mathcad masks (see page 14).

Diagnosis
107 448
■ Start the Mathcad program
■ Open the file:
– Evaluation of sensor amplitude.mcd or
– Evaluation of reference marks.mcd.
In order to load a recorded data set, the filename must be
entered in the mask
(e.g. M1 = PRNLESEN(“99_08_001_full.txt”).
Pressing F9 loads the data set and creates the evaluation
diagram (Figure 3, a or b ). The data set must be located in
the Mathcad mask directory.
