- Installation
- 2.0 Installation
- The symbol appears on the equipemnt and refers to the safety aspects detailed below.
- 2.1 MOUNTING
- Topaz is supplied with a fixing kit consisting of a M10 stud, nut and washers. Figure 1.2b shows use of this in
- conjunction with a mounting arm.
- Be sure that the mounting arrangements are secure as the operator will need to apply pressure to the front panel
- when using the keypad.
- A single or double mounting arm bracket can be supplied as a optional extra.
- An optional mounting assembly (Part no: 294-37740) is available which allows for tilt and rotation (See Figure 1.2a).
- Select the location of the Topaz with due regard to safety and ease of operation. Keep clear of moving parts and
- coolant spray. Ensure that the natural ventilation around the cabinet is not restricted.
- To ensure correct operation of the Topaz, it is recommended that the unit’s case is grounded to the machine upon
- which it is fitted. Use a wire or strap of a least 1.5mm2 (16 AWG) from the cabinet equipotential terminal (See Figure
- 1.3) to a suitable point on the machine body. The wire should be as short as possible. The machine must also be
- properly grounded to a good earth point.
- 2.2 POWER SUPPLY
- BEFORE CONNECTING THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE CABINET, CHECK THAT THE VOLTAGE SELECTOR
- SWITCH IS CORRECTLY SET. Figure 1.3 shows the position of this switch.
- The mains supply is connected through a detachable supply cord. The Topaz is supplied with a cord with a right-angle
- connector. If another supply cord is used, it must have fitted a IEC320, 10A, EARTHED mains connector with a cord
- rated for at least 10A.
- The PROTECTIVE EARTH CIRCUIT of the mains supply MUST BE CONNECTED to the protective earth terminal of
- the cabinet through the supply cord.
- The supply cord should be secured to the mounting arm or pillar with cable ties to ensure that it cannot drop into a
- hazardous position, ie. the floor or coolant tray, when disconnected from the cabinet.
- The supply cord must be routed away from moving parts, swarf, coolant or sources of heat.
- If a mains plug is not already fitted to the supply cord or is of the wrong type, then a suitable EARTHED plug should
- be used which complies with the relevant specifications for plugs and socket-outlets.
- The mains supply fuse is a 20x5mm, type T0.5A, 250v. It is not to be replaced by the operator. If the fuse blows it is a
- possible indication of some significant problem with the power source. Check the supply and wiring carefully. If the
- fuse is replaced, the cabinet must first be disconnected from the supply by the removal of the IEC socket from the
- inlet. Do not position the equipment so that it is difficult to operate the disconnect device.
- NOTE: If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
- provided by the eqipment may be impared.

- Installation/Set-Up
- 2.3 CONNECTIONS
- Figure 1.3 shows the connection sockets at the back of the Topaz. The Topaz is designed for use with Newall’s
- Spherosyn and Microsyn transducers only.The transducers are connected to the Topaz with Bleecon type connectors.
- These connectors have a sliding sleeve that locks the connectors to their sockets.
- Switch off the Topaz before connecting or disconnecting the transducers. To fit the connectors into the appropriate
- socket on the back of the Topaz, first align the connector and then push firmly in place.You should hear a click
- confirming that the locking sleeve has engaged.To remove the connector, pull back on the connector sleeve to
- disengage the locking mechanism.
- The transducers and digital readouts are connected at a separated extra low voltage (SELV) level. Any additional
- interconnections must also be at SELV level.
- 2.4 SWITCHING ON
- The mains supply switch for the Topaz is mounted on the back of the unit as shown Figure 1.3.
- When you switch on the Topaz the unit will automatically go through a brief self diagnostic routine.
- During this routine, the name Topaz will be shown then the software version number will be displayed and all seg-
- ments of the displays will be lit.
- After this routine, the unit will display measurements and is ready for use.
- CONVENTIONS USED IN THIS MANUAL
- The direction of travel of an axis refers to the travel of the tool relative to the
- workpiece. Keys on the keypad are signified in bold print,
- such as [ ent ] for the enter key.
- 3.0 Set-Up
- The Set-Up procedure allows you to to change the main default settings for the Topaz (See Table 1). For
- normal use, you will find that you only need to perform the Set-Up procedure once, and it is possible that the factory
- defaults are suitable for your needs without change.
- The Set-Up procedure can only be activated just after power is switched on to the unit.After switching on, press the
- concealed key which is located under the "ne" of the newall logo on the keypad (See Figure 1.1). The key must be
- pressed before the end of the initial self diagnostic routine.
- When you have entered the Set-Up routine, the letters ‘SET-UP’ appear in the top axis display.
- The Set-Up procedure makes use of a menu system.The main menu consists of a list of options that can be cus-
- tomised for your use (see table 2). You simply press the [ abs/inc ] key to scroll through this list until you reach the
- option you wish to change.To change the option when selected, press the [ Xo ], [ Yo ] or
- [ Zo ] key.
- To exit the Set-Up routine press the concealed key ("ne" of newall).
- Note: On the single axis version, the options can be change by pressing the blue [ 0 ] key.

- Warning: The axis selected for the input type must match the actual transducer (Spherosyn or Microsyn) which is plugged into
- the corresponding axis. Erroneous readings will occur if this warning is not followed.
- 3.3 RESOLUTION
- The resolution option allows you to select the desired axis resolution. The resolutions which are available for each
- axis are dependant on the Input Type which was selected in section 3.2.
- Input Type: Spherosyn/Microsyn 10 5µm (0.0002in) / 10µm (0.0005in) / 20µm (0.001in) / 50µm (0.002in)
- Microsyn 5 1µm (0.00005in) / 2µm(0.0001in) / 5µm (0.0002in) / 10µm (0.0005in)
- It is recommended that the Input Type is established prior to selecting the resolution.
- Press the [ Xo ] [ Yo ] or [ Zo ] key to change the resolutions.
- Note: 1
- µm resolution is only available in the radius reading mode
- 3.4 DIRECTION
- The direction option allows you to change the direction of travel of each axis. For example, if after installation the X
- axis is measuring positive from right to left, you can use this option to change the direction of the X axis so it
- measures positive from left to right.
- In the Set-Up routine, press the [ abs/inc ] until "DIR" (direction) is displayed.
- Each axis display will show "0" or " 1"

- Set-Up
- 3.5 RADIUS/DIAMETER
- This option allows you to select any axis to display measurements at a two times (x2) factor. This is used on lathes
- and other turning applications to display part diameter rather than part radius.
- In the Set-Up routine, press the [ abs/inc ] key until "RAD" or "DIA" is displayed.
- Pressing each axis key [ Xo ], [ Yo ] or [ Zo ], switches between radius and diameter readings for that axis. When
- the Topaz is displaying the choices you wish to use, press [ abs/inc ] to continue to the next option.
- 3.6 LINEAR ERROR COMPENSATION
- This option allows you to apply a constant correction factor to all measurements displayed. This factor is expressed in
- parts per million (PPM).
- In the Set-Up routine, press the [ abs/inc ] key until LC (Linear Compensation) is displayed.The display will show
- "LC 0" or the last correction factor entered.
- To insert or change a correction factor, select the axis and enter the factor you wish to use.
- For example, to apply a factor of 200PPM to the X axis, press the following keys: [ X ][ 2 ][ 0 ][ 0 ][ ent ] .
- If the unit is displaying measurements less than the actual measurement, enter a positive compensation
- factor.A factor of 200PPM means displays are measurement x 1.000200. When each axis is displaying the correction
- factor you wish to use, press [ abs/inc ] to return to the first option.
- 3.6.1 CALCULATING LINEAR ERROR COMPENSATION
- To establish a multiplication factor, check the measurements displayed by the Topaz against a known
- distance.The multiplication factor should be established while in operational mode and NOT in the Set-Up routine.
- For example, you might use a known(actual) distance of 500mm, against which the Topaz displays 499.8mm.The cor-
- rection factor you would then apply is:
- (0.2mm/500mm) x 1,000,000 = 400PPM
- If the Topaz displays 500.2mm over the same distance, the correction factor would be:
- (-0.2mm/500mm) x 1,000,000 = -400PPM
- WARNING. Once you have entered a multiplication factor for an axis, all measurements will be adjusted
- accordingly. If you wish to disable this adjustment, you will have to enter a compensation factor of zero.
- To leave the Set-Up routine press the concealed key, "ne" of newall.

- Set to absolute mode [ abs/inc ]
- Move machine to the
- datum location
- Reset axes [ Xo ] X 0.00
- [ Yo ] Y 0.00
- [ Zo ] Z 0.00
- 5.3 DIGIFIND
- Digifind is a reference point used to find the datum should it be lost by power loss or accidental key stroke entry.
- (a) Using Digifind to Re-establish a Lost Datum
- In the event that the datum positions are lost, align each axis to within ±6mm for Spherosyn or ±2.5mm for Microsyn
- to the datum point.
- By pressing the [ refo ] followed by the corresponding axis key, the display will update to a distance equal to the dis-
- tance from the current position to the datum point.
- Each time the Topaz is powered up the cabinet will automatically use Digifind to compensate for any axis movement of
- up to ±6mm (±0.25”) for Spherosyn and ±2.5mm(±0.098”) for Microsyn.
- 5.4 DATA PRE-SET
- To pre-set an axis dimension the following steps are required.
- (a) Keystrokes
- OPERATOR STEPS KEYSTROKES AXES DISPLAY
- To enter a negative
- dimension for X the axis [ X ][ ± ][ 1 ][ 9 ][ . ][ 6][ ent ] X -
- 19.600
- Dimensions can be entered in either absolute or incremental modes.

- Standard Functions
- 5.5 INCH/MILLIMETRE
- To change between millimetre and inch readings, press [ in/mm ]. The displayed data will be converted instantly. The
- LED beside the key reminds you which mode is being used.
- When you switch on the Topaz, it will display the same unit of measurement which was set prior to power loss.
- 5.6 CENTRE FIND
- Centre Find halves the dimension displayed for any or all axes selected. You can use Centre Find in either absolute or
- incremental mode. The keystrokes are the same in either case.
- In the following example, Centre Find is being used on the X axis to find the centre point of a workpiece that is
- 100mm wide.
- OPERATOR STEPS KEYSTROKES AXES DISPLAY
- Locate to your first position [ Xo ] X 0.00
- (one edge of your workpiece-
- and zero the axis)
- Locate to the second position X 100.00
- (the other edge of the workpiece)
- Use Centre Find to locate the
- centre point [ X ][ ½ ] or [ ½ ][ X ] X 50.00
- In either absolute mode or incremental mode, once you have used Centre Find you can locate to the centre point by
- moving until the display is at zero.
- Note: If you are in absolute mode, remember that using centre find will set the datum to the centre point.
- 5.7 DATAHOLD (SLEEP)
- Datahold allows you to disable the Topaz but retain power to the measurement Transducers and the memory circuits.
- You can use datahold to prevent unauthorised or accidental use of the Topaz whilst unattended.
- To select datahold, press the concealed key under the "ne" of the "newall" logo (See Figure 1.1).
- While the Topaz has been set to datahold, the keypad will not function and the displays will be blank.
- If the machine axis is moved, "DISPLACD" (displaced) will appear in the display window. The Topaz will continue to
- record all transducer movement and will update the display once datahold is cancelled. If a key is pressed,
- "TOUCHED" (touched) will appear in the display to alert the operator that data entry has been attempted.
- Note: To cancel datahold, press the concealed key (“ne” of the newall logo).

- Optional Functions
- 6.2.2 TO USE THE TOOLS WITH OFFSETS
- (a) Press . The 2 digit display now shows “01”. Use the [ < ] and [ > ] keys to advance to the
- tool which is to be used.
- (b) Datum the displays in the normal way. Use the [ < ] and [ > ] keys when changing tools. The display
- will show you true X and Z readings for the tool shown in the two digit display.
- (c) Press to exit tool use mode.
- 6.2.3 EDITING TOOL OFFSETS
- Tool editing allows you to update a tool offset should the tool become worn, broken or need replacing.
- (a) Before editing the offset it is first necessary to activate an unchanged tool in tool use mode. Press and
- select the tool.
- (b) To datum the X axis take a skim cut along the outside diameter. Move the tool away from the part but do not
- move in the X axis. Measure the diameter and enter the diameter of the part in to the X display.
- e.g. [ X ][ 2 ][ 5 ][ent]
- (c) To datum the Z axis, take a facing cut and move the tool away from the part but do not move in the Z
- axis. Enter zero in the Z display. i.e. [ Z ][ 0 ][ ent ].The Xo and Zo keys are inactive in the tool set mode.
- (d) Press to exit tool use mode.
- Set
- (e) Press to activate the tool offset mode.
- (f) Use the [ < ][ > ] keys to scroll to the tool to be edited. As an alternative the tool number may be
- entered directly. e.g. [ 1 ][ 1 ][ ent ].
- (g) To establish the X axis offset take a skim cut along the outside diameter. Move the tool away from the
- part but do not move in the X axis. Measure the diameter and enter the diameter of the part in to the X
- display. e.g. [ 2 ] [ 5 ] [ ent ]
- (h) To establish the Z axis offset touch the end face with the tool and enter zero in the Z axis display.
- e.g. [ 0 ][ ent ]. The Xo and Zo keys are inactive in the tool set mode.

- Troubleshooting/Cleaning
- 7.0 Troubleshooting
- SYMPTOM SOLUTIONS
- 1 Nothing happens when the Check that the Topaz is correctly connected to a working power source.
- unit is switched on.
- Check the power lead is not damaged.
- Check the selector switch on the Topaz is set to accept the correct
- power supply voltage.
- Check the fuse. Note that if the fuse has blown, this suggests a fault
- with the power source which must be corrected before the fuse is replaced. (See Section 2.2)
- 2 When the unit is switched on This suggests that the mains supply voltage is to low.
- the displays are frozen.
- Check that the power source is within the limits accepted by the Topaz.
- (See Section 2.2)
- 3 The displays work, but reset This suggests either that the mains supply voltage is too low,
- from time to time without the or that the power source has an intermittent fault.
- keys being pressed.
- Check the power source as above.
- Check that all connections are sound.
- 4 The displays work, but give This suggests that the there is a poor earth (ground) connection.
- erratic readings, the last digit Both the Topaz, and the machine on which it is installed, must have
- jitters or the measurements jump proper earth (ground) connections. (See Section 2.1)
- to new figures unexpectedly.
- 5 "NO SIG" or “SIG FAIL” appears in This means that the unit is not receiving a proper signal from
- the display. the measurement transducer.
- Check that the transducer connection is good.
- Check that there is no damage to the connectors or to the transducer
- lead. If only one axis is displaying this message, connect the
- transducer from a working axis into the faulty axis. If the same
- message appears, the fault is likely to be in the Topaz and you
- should contact your local dealer. Note:The Topaz be switched off
- then on again to remove the "NO SIG" message.
- 6 The unit will not respond to keys. Switch the Topaz off and back on. Note that providing the machine has
- not been moved more than +/-6mm in any direction for the Spherosyn and +/-2.5mm for the
- Microsyn, you will not lose your current position by switching off and on.
- 8.0 Cleaning
- Disconnect the cabinet from the power supply before cleaning.
- It is recommended that the cabinet be wiped over with a lint-free cloth with a non corrosive/abrasive cleaning fluid.
- Do not use compressed air.
