Information
Electronic position indicators GN 9154 with data transmission via radio frequency are particularly suited for frequent format adjustments and can be mounted quickly and easily. They are connected to the control unit GN 9150 by radio as a wireless system for quick positioning. Control units GN 9150 are required for the system to function. They form the interface between the position indicator and the machine control. A target position value is sent by the machine control to the control unit, which transmits this via radio frequency to the position indicator. The po-sition indicator signals its current position value back to the control unit. In combination with the machine control, this makes it possible to ensure that the production cycle does not start when the position set on the position indicator is incorrect, which can prevent errors in the production process.

Configurable display options
One advantage of electronic position determination lies in the wide range of display options on the position indicator. The following settings can be configured with the 3 function buttons:
- Selecting incremental or absolute measurement mode
- Changing the unit of dimension (mm, inch or degree)
- Resetting the counter or setting an offset value
- Changing the display value after one turn
- Changing the resolution, i.e. the number of displayed decimal places – Changing the direction of rotation or counting
- Changing the display orientation (based on the installation orientation) – Setting the maximum speed of rotation
The installed lithium battery has a life of over 3 years. The time to replace the battery is indicated by a symbol on the display. Battery replacement is easy – simply remove the front cover. Other important information and instructions can be found in the operating instruction for position indicators GN 9154. This is included with every position indicator and can be downloaded from www.ganternorm.com in the Service section.
Installation instructions
Regarding the mounting options and external architecture, electronic position indicators GN 9154 with data transmission via radio frequency are very similar to mechanical position indicators GN 954 (˜ Page QVX) and can normally be substi-tuted for the latter (see also „Explanations about position indicators“ → Page QVX).
Before installation the position indicator, a locating hole must be made on the machine side for the torque limiting contact point, according to the drawing (see left). With the mounting adaptor bushings GN 952.1 (→ Page QVX), the hollow shaft (with bore 14 H7) of the positi-on indicator can be adapted to fi t the spindle. If a reduction in the diameter of the hollow shaft is to be made at the same time as mounting a control knob, control knobs GN 957 (→ Page QVX) are available which combine both functions in a single component. The position indicator is mounted with the torque limiting contact point inserted in the bore hole, to stabilize the housing in place. The hollow shaft is mounted to the spindle and secured with the grub screw. With clamping plates GN 9054.6 (→ Page QVX), spindles can be clamped and secured after adjusting.
Security information
The position indicators and control communicate using a proprietary ELESA protocol. The control unit can only process the target and current position value of the position indicators and send these to the machine control. The machine control therefore cannot be accessed directly over the wireless network of the control unit. The radio communication is therefore protected against system alterations or third-party access. Disruptions or interference from other typical wireless networks, such as WiFi, Bluetooth, etc. do not impair the functio-ning of the system, but they may lengthen the response time of the position indicators to the control unit. Avoid placing the control unit immediately next to high-powered components, such as motors, converters, etc. If this is not possible, a safe distance of at least 200 mm should be ensured.
