U-WAVE-R
Introduction
The U-WAVE-R in conjunction with a Mitutoyo U-WAVE-T (available separately) allows
wireless communication of the measurement data from Digimatic-output interfaced tool to load
it to a personal computer for data display.
To obtain the highest performance and the longest service life from the U-WAVE-R, carefully
read this User’s Manual thoroughly prior to use.
After reading this manual, keep it near the U-WAVE-R for quick reference.
The specifications of the U-WAVE-R and descriptions in this manual are subject to change
without prior notification.
Safety Precautions
Use the U-WAVE-R in conformance with the specifications, functions and precautions for use
given in this manual. If the U-WAVE-R is used in other way, it may jeopardize safety.
• Do not use the U-WAVE-R near a medical device that has a possibility of causing a
malfunction due to radio waves.
• The U-WAVE-R using an electric wave has a possibility that communication is
interrupted under the influence of external noises, etc., even within the distance of
communication of the electric wave. In this case take sufficient failure prevention
action (security measures).
• In the event the U-WAVE-R should fail, take sufficient failure prevention action
(security measures).

to radio communications, However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Precautions on Wireless Communication Environments
Notice that this performance of the U-WAVE-R may not be fully delivered depending on the
environment such as a midway obstruction.
For the items of obstruction factors refer to the following table.
1) The U-WAVE-R may not be able to communicate in the case.
Item
Description
Concrete wall
Disables communication if the U-WAVE-R is completely
enclosed with a concrete wall.
Metallic partition, etc.
Have the possibility of reducing the communication speed
or blocking communication.
Wireless LAN, Bluetooth,
ZigBee, microwave oven,
and other communication
devices
Have the possibility of reducing the communication speed
or blocking communication. Separate the communication
channel (band ID) and installation site of each device as far
as possible from those of the U-WAVE-R.
Machine tools, etc.
In the worksite operated with machine tools such as electrical
discharge Machines, crane for transfer, arc welding etc.,
ｈ
ave the possibility of reducing the communication speed
or blocking communication.
2)
The U-WAVE-R may influence on the peripheral equipment in the case
Item
Description
Medical device
Do not use the U-WAVE-R near a medical device such as a
laser surgical knife and a bathroom scale.
Precautions for Use
The following deeds and situations will cause a failure or malfunction in the U-WAVE-R.
Care should be exercised.
IMPORTANT
• The U-WAVE-R operates on the power supply from a personal computer. A personal
computer may generate large noises depending on the manufacturer and model. Be sure to
verify the whole system operation once prior to use.
• Do not give a sudden shock such as a drop or apply an excessive force to the U-WAVE-R.
• If the U-WAVE-R is not used more than 3 months, disconnect the U-WAVE-R from the
personal computer and store it in a safe place.
• Avoid using or storing the U-WAVE-R at sites which are exposed to direct sunlight,
excessively high or low temperature.
• Avoid using or storing the U-WAVE-R at sites where it may be subject to the adhesion of
solution such as acid and alkali or organic solvent.
• If a high-voltage device such as an electro-spark engraving pen is used for the U-WAVE-R,
the internal electronic parts may be damaged.
• Exercise care so as not to apply an undue force or curvature to the USB cable.
Warranty
In the event that the U-WAVE-R should prove defective in workmanship or material, within
one year from the date of original purchase for use, it will be repaired or replaced, at our
option, free of charge upon its prepaid return to us.
This warranty is effective only where the U-WAVE-R is properly installed and operated in
conformance with the instructions in this manual.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The U-WAVE-T complies with the EMC Directive. Note that in environments where
electromagnetic interference exceeds EMC requirements defined in this directive, appropriate
countermeasures are required to assure the product performance.
Disposal of Old Electrical & Electronic Equipment (Applicable in the European
Union and other European countries with separate collection systems)
This symbol on the U-WAVE-R or on its packaging indicates that the U-WAVE-R shall
not be treated as household waste. To reduce the environmental impact of WEEE
(Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) and minimize the volume of WEEE
entering landfills, please reuse and recycle.

Before using the U-WAVE-R be sure to read the standard accessory
“U-WAVE QUICK Manual” thoroughly, and then install the “U-WAVEPAK” and “USB Driver”.
IMPORTANT
• Log in to Windows by ‘Administrator’.
• Be sure to install the U-WAVEPAK before connecting the U-WAVE-R to a personal computer.
• When connecting the U-WAVE-R to a USB Hub, always use a self-powered USB Hub.
• The U-WAVE-R does not support the operation in the Standby or Hibernate of a personal
computer. Cancel each setting in the U-WAVE-R prior to use.
• Please read the “U-WAVEPAK User’s Manual“ in “PDF_Manual” folder of the CD supplied as a
standard accessory for a detailed operation method of U-WAVEPAK.
“Adobe Reader” of Adobe Systems INC. is necessary to read.
[3] Setup
1)
Setting the communication information
You need to set various information necessary for communication in the U-WAVE-R using
the U-WAVEPAK.
(No information is registered default setting.)
The information required to be set is as shown in the following table.
Item name
Description
Group ID
ID for grouping the U-WAVE-T and the U-WAVE-R.
Communication is possible between the U-WAVE-T and the U-WAVE-R
which have the same ID.
Band ID
Number of a radio band to be used
Lack of data
monitoring
level
The data transmitted from the U-WAVE-T to the U-WAVE-R includes a value
that is incremented by one each time communication is implemented.
The U-WAVE-R monitors this value and has a function to notify the personal
computer of a data missing error.
A lack of data monitoring level is a value for prescribing how frequently this
error is notified.
IMPORTANT
• Please read the “U-WAVE Quick manual “ and “U-WAVEPAK User’s Manual“ in “PDF_Manual”
folder of the CD supplied as a standard accessory for setting the communication information.
• The U-WAVE-R will not function properly if a U-WAVE-R with the same group ID and band
ID settings exists nearby. Be sure to set different information for each ID in the U-WAVE-R.
