INSTALLATION, SECURITY & MAINTENANCE
5.1 Location
The instrument has to be installed in a location satisfying the general required conditions, but
also the specific and very precise conditions regarding the environment, power supply, etc. It
is essential to be able to identify important factors and to correctly prepare the zone the
instrument is installed and used in.
5.2 Place of use
In order to use the instrument correctly, the following precautions have to be taken into
account:
•
Avoid placing the instrument close to a window, door, cooling or heating system.
•
Avoid causing recurrent temperature variations due to direct exposure of the instrument to
the sun.
5.3 Lighting
Use indirect or fluorescent light. Avoid direct exposure to the sun or any other strong light.
5.4 Measuring surface
Choose a surface free of any vibrations that could lead to measurement or reading errors
despite the stability of the mechanical and electronic components.
Make sure that the surface can carry the weight of the machine and the workpiece to be
measured. Ideally, the surface should not have any splits or joints.
It is recommended to use a measuring surface that is big enough to enable smooth and easy
movements of the instrument around the workpiece to be measured if the latter cannot be
displaced manually.
5.5 Cleanliness
Make sure that the measuring surface is clean, so that there is no dust, condensation or metal
filings.
5.6 Vibrations
Floors of companies are constantly at risk of vibration due to different reasons:
CNC and other machines, transportation vehicles and any other source of vibrations. These
vibrations can directly influence the metrological performances of the machine.
