Note:

1.The resolution is given as the minimum value that can be read when a ZX-TDA11/41 Amplifier Unit is connected. This value is taken 15 minutes after turning ON the power with the average number of operations set to 256.

2.The linearity is given as the error in an ideal straight line displacement output.

3.These figures are representative values that apply for the measurement center when the provided actuator is used, with the actuator fixed to face downwards.
If the actuator is fixed to face horizontally or upwards, the operating force will be reduced. Also, if an actuator other than the standard one is used, the operating force will vary with the weight of the actuator itself.

4.These figures are representative values that apply for the mid-point of the measurement range.

Note:

1.The resolution indicates the variation (±3 σ) in the linear output (voltage output) when a ZX-TDA11/41 Amplifier Unit is connected. This value is taken 30 minutes after turning ON the power with the average number of operations set to 1,024. The minimum value that can be read is 1 μm.

2.The linearity is given as the error in an ideal straight line displacement output.

3.These figures are representative values that apply for the mid-point of the measurement range when the Actuator provided is secured facing downward.
- ZX-TDS10T and ZX-TDS10T-V ZX-TDS10T-VL: The operating force will be reduced if the Actuator is secured facing horizontally or upward.
- ZX-TDS10T-L: The actuator can be installed only facing downward.

4.These figures are representative values that apply for the mid-point of the measurement range.

5.These values were measured at an ambient temperature of 23°C.

6.The ZX-TDS10[] comes with a Right-angle Adapter.

Note:

1.The response time for the first linear output or judgment output is calculated as follows (with fixed sensitivity): Measurement period × (Average count setting + 1).
The response time for the second and later outputs is the measurement period specified in the table.

2.The output can be switched between a current output and voltage output using a switch on the base of the Amplifier Unit.

3.Setting is possible via the monitor focus function.

4.A Calculating Unit (ZX-CAL2) is required.
