3. Instructions for use
3.1 Measurement units
Metric or imperial sizes
The tool is delivered with a pre-selection for measurements in millimeter.
In case you want to change into inches, press the minus sign simultaneously to switching
the tool on. To revert back to millimeter press the plus sign when switching on.
The last setting will always be remembered.
3.2 Feet on the ground
If there is any doubt whether the machine is resting equally on all feet please
check for so called "soft foot". The procedure for this operation is described in
chapter 3.10.
3.3 Attachment of measuring units
a) Use the fixtures to attach the measuring units to the shafts. Make sure that the
M-marked unit is attached to the Movable machine and the S-marked unit to the
Stationary machine. For diameters larger than 150 mm, an accessory extension chain
(TMEA C2) is required.
Fig. 8. Attachment of mechanical fixture with chain
If it is not possible to attach the fixtures directly to the shafts (e.g. in case of space
problems) the fixtures can be attached to the coupling.
Note!
It is highly recommended to position the measuring units at equal distance from the
middle of the coupling.
