DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY Declaration of Conformity Equipment:EASY-LASER® PRODUCT RANGE Damalini AB declares that the Easy-Laser® product range is manufactured in conformity with national and international regulations. The system complies with, and has been tested according to the following requirements: EMC Directive: 89/336/EEC Low Voltage Directive: 73/23/EEC including amendments by Directive 93/68/EEC. Laser Classification: EUROPE SS-EN-608 25-1-1994 USA CFR 1040.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Easy-Laser® is a laser instrument in laser class II with an output power less than 1 mW, which only requires the following safety precautions: ! Never stare directly into the laser beam Never aim the laser beam at anyone else’s eyes. NOTE! Opening the laser units can result in hazardous radiation, and will in validate the manufacturer warranty.
DAMALINI AB Easy-Laser®: measurement equipment for your needs Damalini develops and manufactures Easy-Laser® for measurement and alignment of machinery and plant. We have more than 20 years of experience from measurement tasks in the field and product development. We also provide measurement service, which means that we ourselves use the equipment we develop, and continuously improve it. Because of this we dare to call ourselves measurement specialists.
UPGRADABILITY Systems and parts The Easy-Laser® systems are designed to grow as the needs increase. Measurement systems D450 and D505 have as standard when delivered only programs for shaft alignment, and all other systems with Display unit D279 have all programs (see next page). Starting with Display unit D279 you can measure virtually anything by combining different fixtures, lasers, measuring units and detectors, and also expand the measurement software in some cases.
MEASUREMENT PROGRAMS Measurement programs configurations These pages describe which programs and functions the Display unit D279 has for the different measurement systems. There is also a brief description of each program. D525 D600 D630 D650 D660 D670 D800 D450 D505 Horizontal - For shaft alignment of horizontal machines with the 9-12-3 method. X X X Softfoot - With this program you can check that the machine is standing on all feet. Displays which foot to correct.
MEASUREMENT PROGRAMS D450 D505 D525 D600 D630 D650 D660 D670 D800 Values - This program displays the values from the detector in live mode, similar to measurement with dial indicators. The values can be zeroed and halved. Up to four units can be connected in series and can be zeroed individually. X X Vibrometer - Shows vibration level in ”mm/s” or ”inch/s” and bearing condition value in ”g”. The measurement complies with vibrations standard ISO10816-3.
MEASUREMENT PROGRAMS D450 D505 D525 D600 D630 D650 D660 D670 D800 Flange - For measurement of flatness on flanges and circular planes, for example axial bearings. Up to 150 measurement points can be handled. Three zero points with 120° in between are calculated by the system. X Center of circle - This program is used when measuring the straightness of bearing journals. Allows varying diameters. X Center of circle PLUS - Versatile program with advanced functions.
GETTING STARTED Manual This manual describes in order: The hardware parts: Technical specifications and functions. Handling the display unit: Settings, button choices and measurement data handling. Handling the measurement programs: Measurement procedures step-by-step. Measurement applications: More examples of applications. If you are unfamiliar with measurement and alignment, we suggest that you first read the chapter E- Measurement basics...
GETTING STARTED The picture shows two measuring units (S, M) connected to the display unit. Shift to Program-menu page 2 by pressing To get to the Main menu, press Return to previous page by pressing the Menubutton once again. (Possible in any situation, also during measurement.) The first line of the Main menu says “Units found:” shows whether the display unit is in contact with all of the connected measuring units.
GETTING STARTED 10. After the measurement is finished you can do the following; save the result in the display unit, if you have a printer; connect this and make a printout (see chapter B) or connect the display unit to a PC and transmit the data (in this case you first have to install the EasyLink™ software, see chapter B.) These are the basics for getting started with the system.

LASER D22, D23: calibrating the vials Here we describe how you calibrate the vials on the D22 and D23. This is normally done at delivery, but can be redone when necessary. The vials are scaled to 0.02 mm/m [4 arc sec.]. Accurate levelling to the vials will achieve a repeated levelling better than the scaling of the vials, approximately 0.005 mm/m [1 arc sec.]. If the laser is to be used as a levelled reference the vials must be calibrated to the laser beam.
LASER D22, D23: calibrating the vials When calibrating the single vial on lasertransmitter D22, the sweep of the laser can be used. Place the detector in two positions, at least 1 m apart, and let the laser beam pass through this from two directions. Use the three point washers placed on the magnets for proper elevation, and mount the laser as shown on picture below. 1. Level according to vial at A. 2. Zero set display at B. 3. Note the value at C. 4. Move the laser to D and level according to vial. 5.

The clamping pin can be mounted at both ends of the transmitter (Alt. 1 and Alt.
