U-WAVE-T
Introduction
The U-WAVE-T is a wireless communication tool for transmitting measurement data to the Mitutoyo
U-WAVE-R (option) by connecting to a Digimatic-output interfaced tool with the supplied connecting
cable. The U-WAVE-T is also categorized into two types: IP67 type and buzzer type. To obtain the
highest performance and the longest service life from the U-WAVE-T
,
carefully read this User’s Manual
thoroughly prior to use. After reading this manual, keep it near the U-WAVE-T for quick reference. The
specifications of the U-WAVE-T and descriptions in this manual are subject to change without prior
notification.
Safety Precautions
Use the U-WAVE-T in conformance with the specifications, functions and precautions for use given in this
manual. If the U-WAVE-T is used in other way, it may jeopardize safety.
•
Do not use the U-WAVE-T near a medical device that has a possibility of causing a
malfunction due to radio waves.
• The U-WAVE-T 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-T should fail, take sufficient failure prevention action (security
measures).
• Do not disassemble, short, modify, or heat the supplied battery. The leaked contents may get
into your eyes. Also, heat generation or explosion may result.
• The battery used in the U-WAVE-T contains an irritating substance.
Should this liquid substance be applied to your eyes or skin by accident, immediately rinse it
away in clean water.
• Should the battery be swallowed by accident, immediately rinse the mouth out and induce
vomiting the battery while drinking a large amount of water. After then consult a doctor.

Notes
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference 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 performance of the U-WAVE-T 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-T may not be able to communicate in the case.
Item
Description
Concrete wall
Disables communication if the U-WAVE-T 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-T.
Machine tools, etc.
In the worksite operated with machine tools such as electrical
discharge Machines, crane for transfer, arc welding etc.,
have the possibility of reducing the communication speed or
blocking communication.
2)
The U-WAVE-T may influence on the peripheral equipment in the case

Precautions for Dust and Water Resistance
To obtain the highest performance from the IP67 type U-WAVE-T, be sure to observe the following
precautions.
IMPORTANT
• The dust and water resistance of the U-WAVE-T is assured under the condition where the connecting
cable is connected and the battery cover is mounted.
If the U-WAVE-T is not used for an extended period, store it with each cover mounted to prevent from
water and oil.
• To deliver the maximum performance of protection against water and dust (IP67), mount the battery
cover tightly with screws after setting the battery. Also, do not remove the packing from the cover.
• If the connecting cable sheath is broken, a liquid will infiltrate into the U-WAVE-T and a Measuring
tool due to capillary phenomenon, resulting in trouble. Immediately replace the cable.
• Use the U-WAVE-T with sufficient care so that the packing on each part may not be damaged with
cutting chips, dirt, etc. Should any packing be damaged, the dust and water resistance will be
impaired. Immediately replace the packing or have the U-WAVE-T repaired by a service center.
• Rubber and other materials used for rubber caps and sealing portions are not fully effective for
diversified coolants, chemicals, etc. If these materials become deteriorated markedly, consult the
nearest Mitutoyo sales office.
• The U-WAVE-T is provided with such a structure that cannot be disassembled by applying seals to
individual parts.
If any sealed part is disassembled, then a predetermined performance will not be delivered.
• Do not use the U-WAVE-T at sites which might be submerged. The U-WAVE-T cannot prevent liquids
such as a coolant from infiltrating.
TIP
IP67 protection level (For details refer to IEC 60529.)
• Protection against foreign matters (Level 6): Protects an object against the ingress of dust and dirt,
and against a full contact with it.
• Protection against water (Level 7): No causing harmful effects when submerged in water for 30
minutes with its bottom end at a depth of 1 m below the surface of water.
Other Precautions
The following deeds and situations will cause a failure or malfunction in the U-WAVE-T.
Care should be exercised.
IMPORTANT
• Do not give a sudden shock such as a drop or apply an excessive force to the U-WAVE-T.
• If the U-WAVE-T is not used more than 3 months, remove the battery from the U-WAVE-T and store it
in a safe place. Otherwise, leaks from the battery may damage the U-WAVE-T.
• Avoid using or storing the U-WAVE-T at sites which are exposed to direct sunlight, excessively high
or low temperature.
• Avoid using or storing the U-WAVE-T 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-T, the
internal electronic parts may be damaged.
• Exercise care so as not to apply an undue force or curvature to the connecting cable.
• If the battery voltage has come down, replace the battery ahead of time before the operation
becomes unstable.
Warranty
In the event that the U-WAVE-T 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-T is properly installed and operated in conformance
with the instructions in this manual.
