Switching the drives on
• Turn the rotary switch (4) clockwise approx. 90° and hold it there
until the indicator lamp above it lights up.
As soon as the indicator lamp above the switch lights up, the

back to its home position as soon as it is released.
Selecting the operating mode
It is also possible to set the operating mode later.

all three axes.

AUTO : Automatic mode – series measurement mode. Travel at
maximum speed in all axes.
You must set this operating mode for …:

Danger!
When starting a CNC program, make sure that no one is in the dan-
ger area of the CMM. The operating mode setting (MAN or AUTO) is
irrelevant.
• Check to make sure that no one is in the danger area of the CMM.
Important!
The AUTO mode may only be set if the CNC program was tested in
the manual mode beforehand. This prevents collisions at high travel
speeds in the automatic mode.
When starting a CNC program, the key should be removed and stored
in a safe place to prevent the setting from being changed accidentally.
Switching the computer on
• Switch the computer on and other peripheral devices, e.g. the
printer.
