2. Safety
CAUTION!
Damages of the measuring system due to misuse are possible.
 Handle the measuring system like a precision tool.
 Keep the measuring system clean.
 Limit the measuring block over travel by programming, see chapter 6..
 Read and observe all notes of the machine tool manufacturer. Do not disable safety inter‐
lockings.

NOTICE
Damage of the measuring system by a short circuit is possible
Aggressive liquids may destroy seals.
 Do not operate the measuring system in a working environment with aggressive coolants!
Coolants must not contain aggressive contents, that can damage plastics or rubber parts
(e.g.: acetone, alcohol, ethanol, methanol, cleaning benzine, solvents, ...).
 Coolants may not exceed a ph‐level of 9.5.
 Please contact us if you have any questions! We also have solutions for special applications.

5. Electrical connection
NOTICE
Damage and malfunction of the measuring system is possible caused by faulty cable mount‐
ing
 Connect or disconnect connecting cables or plug connections without power supply only.

 Connect the cable shielding on the control side with the machine earth. At adapter connec‐
tions the shielding must be directed over the plug housing and the complete plug connec‐
tion must be mounted isolated.
 Observe intactness of gasket and adjusting groove of plug connector.
 Tighten the plug connector firmly (Md = 2.0 ... 2.5 Nm).

NOTICE
Damage to the measuring system by short circuit possible.
The outputs cannot be connected in parallel!
 Connect each individual wire to its own terminal.
