Assembly and set-up
This chapter shall help you to answer any questions which might arise before or during the assembly and
set-up of the retrofit kit. Please go through the described steps one after the other.
6.1
Assembly of the base unit
When choosing the position of the test station, the ambient conditions required by the manufacturer of
the dial indicator test device have to be observed.
The base unit has to be placed upon a stable structure which is free from vibrations and is sufficiently able
to take load (weight of the base unit plus weight of the dial indicator testing device). When choosing the
position for the test station, you should also consider the necessary space for computer equipment
(keyboard, mouse, screen). Please also pay attention to the glare effect of the lighting unit – we
recommend to place the testing station facing a wall, or to install an optical screen between adjacent work
stations, e.g. by means of a vertical partition.
Take the base unit out of the transport packaging. Please remove the foam inserts very carefully to avoid
any deformation or damage of the pre-assembled camera and lighting unit.

Place the base unit on the chosen workplace. The column with the camera and lighting unit should be on
the front side close to the operator.
