1.1 General
1.1.1 Preface
The safety instructions in this manual have to be strictly observed to guarantee the safe and reliable operation of the
touch probe. The meaning of the symbols related to the safety instructions is described in the table below:
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a hazard which can lead to injuries if not avoided.
NOTICE
NOTICE indicates information considered important, but not hazard-related (e.g.
messages relating to property damage).
INFORMATION
INFORMATION indicates important information or helpful advice for working with
the described device.
1.1.2 Safety Instructions
NOTICE
Risk of material damage!
 Manual or automatic positioning of the touch probe must be protected, in a way that the machine axis stops
feeding if the probe is triggered outside the measuring process!
NOTICE
Risk of material damage!
 Feedhold or spindle-stop resulting from a trigger or ready signal from a touch probe should only happen if the
probe is actually in the spindle. This safety logic will protect the machine against a possible spindle or
feeding stop in normal milling operation if a signal from a probe reaches the control under one of the
conditions outlined below:
 Battery replacement and subsequent functional check of the touch probe by manually switching it on.
 Another machine with a radio-wave touch probe installed is started up and this touch probe transmits on
the same channel as a touch probe previously installed.
NOTICE
Risk of material damage caused by third-party parts!
 Only use the original spare parts listed in these operating instructions to perform maintenance and repairs.
INFORMATION
The information given in this manual can be changed by the manufacturer at any time. The user is therefore
responsible for regularly enquiring about updated information.
