Renishaw PI 7-2, Руководство по установке

Product description
Switch
With switch 3 UP, the PI 7-2 will automatically change operating modes from TP7M to
kinematic probe types (TP2, TP20 or TP6/TP6A) when a TP6A probe or PAA series
adapter is attached to the Renishaw autojoint connector on the probe head. Switch 3
should be set to the DOWN position only when it is necessary to connect a kinematic
probe or an electronic trigger, from an external source, to the PICS input connector.
For example, this will be necessary if the TP7 is fully integrated with the TP200 probe
on the same installation.
Switch
Early versions of the TP7M probe required faster resetting than the ‘01’ (or later) issue
(after January 1995). Where only the ‘01’ or later versions are to be used, switch 4
should be set to the UP position to optimise the reset function. This will reduce the
possibility of an incorrectly seated probe occurring in situations where the back-off from
the gauge point is slow or where the stylus ‘skates’ on the surface. Switch 4 should
be set to the DOWN position where the ‘pre-01’ probe or mixed types are used. The
DOWN position provides equivalent function to previous versions of the PI 7.
The TP7M probe types may be recognised by the differences in appearance shown in
figure 3.
