ROTALIGN 01.2000
Operating information
In order to ensure proper operation of the ROTALIGN system,
observe the following information:
Temperature range
The ROTALIGN system must be
used at temperatures between 0°
and 45° C (32° to 113° F). Outside
of this range, the specified accu-
racy may not be maintained.
Store your ROTALIGN equipment
at temperatures between -25° C
and 60° C (-13° F to 140° F). Re-
member that on a hot day, the
temperature inside a locked car
can easily surpass 80° C (176 °F)!
Sudden changes in temperature
and humidity (for example, when
ROTALIGN is stored in an office
but used in hot or cold work
areas) can cause the optics to fog over with condensation: the
computer displays "LASER OFF" and stops measurement. In that case,
give the equipment about 10 minutes to reach the work area
temperature. If the sensor temperature drops below 0 °C (32 °F) or
rises above 60 °C (140 °F), the computer displays "TEMPERATURE";
measurements can still, however, be made.
Temperature effects and fluctuations
Powerful heat sources or steam located near the laser beam could
influence the accuracy of measurements as a result of beam deflec-
tion. In practice, however, this effect occurs seldom at distances up to
1 m. If in doubt, the effect can be eliminated by shielding the system
from the heat/steam source during measurement and adjustment.
As with all precision optical measurement devices, sudden tempera-
tures fluctuations (e.g. resulting from sunlight), could result in
erroneous measurements.
Allow adequate time for the ROTALIGN and the components to
reach the ambient temperature.
