I purchased a model JC900-3AE DRO for my mill. The manual is awful. The screens and buttons shown do not correspond with the unit. I could not get into some of the functions and the vendor could not help. New to DRO’s I was frustrated – I searched all the manuals for different DRO’s that I could find to help me understand. I found the manual below and it well written and follows this DRO closely,
The attached manual was a BIG help and I wanted to take the opportunity to payback and maybe help someone else have a better experience.
It was found at http://www.exoror.com/datasheet/D60.pdf (In case the attachment doesn't load correctly.)
This manual also shows access to additional functions not listed (or I missed) in the supplied manual such as -Tool offsets for the mill, Tool Libs for the lathe, pocketing……
One thing I did find in the original manual -in case you missed it as I did at first- is access to a second set of setup parameters by hitting the in/mm button six times during boot up
The only function I cannot seem to get to work is the Ref Datum Memory Recall Function to rehome the table if it gets moved during a power loss. I cannot get the unit to “flash” and find the reference marks of the scales as described. If anyone conquered this –please pass it along.
Hope this helps anyone who purchases one of these DROs!
