ease and precision. The controller consists of the
following elements:

damping (acceleration and decceleration) of
the trolley (referred to as [D2] in the manual)
DitoGear™ OmniSlider
Servo Motor Internal Controller
The DitoGear™ OmniSlider Servo comes with an
advanced low-level motor controller capable of
preventing motor overload and overheating.
A built-in cooling fan is switched on every time the
motor or motor controller temperature reaches the
treshold point.
The DitoGear™ OmniSlider Servo Motor Controller
comes with a controller reset button located on
the front panel of the motor enclosure.
When the controller detects motor overload, the
power is disconnected to prevent hardware dam-
age. Such situation is indicated with continuous
sound alarm. If it happens (usually during calibra-
tion procedure when the trolley hits the end of the
track or while working under excessive load) sim-
ply press the reset button for a second to reset the
warning. Recalibration may be required.
Adjusting initial settings
In order to operate the device properly, the initial con-
figuration must be set. Some additional settings are
required after each power-up routine.

In order for the slider to operate properly the correct
device should be chosen from the settings menu.
To select the device navigate to:
