Distance Measurements
3. Release the switch handle; this will allow it to lock OIl Ihe new selling.
When you are entering data via the Measurement Di splay unit 's keyboard, remember to enter
values appropriate for the measurement units you have selected; also, you can ', mik "English" and
"Met r ic" units (inches and degrees Cel sius, for ekample).
If you change the selling of the rear-panel ENGLISH / METR IC switch, all previously-entered values
will automatically
be converted to equivalent va l ues in the newly-selected system .
To provide
your laser Measurement System with information it needs to know about the
environmental and material conditions
at the time of measurement, use the appropriate procedure
bel
ow , depending on whether or not you have one or more sensors connected to the
Measurement Displ
ay unit .
Using Sensors
Sensor Attachment
The Air Sensor and Material Se nsor(s) should already be att3chcd. See Section 5 for instruction s.
CA UTION
To prevent po ss ible damage to th e Measurement D is pl ay unit ,
be sure yo u turn the lin e power o f( before c onn eeli ns or di scon-
n ec tin g any Cill blc at Us ,en panel.
NO TE
Be sure to " l ock" the c onnection s, so they won 't accidentally
come ur ,donc.
Sens or Pla cement
In order to accurately correct for the effects of en vironmental and machine temper,lture on the
laser reading, you must
lo cate the sen sors where they c an accurately monitor the conditions
influencing the laser. The 10751 Air Sens or (which monitor s the atmospheric conditions) should
always be mounted as closely as possible to the actual M(ASUREMENT PATH , so it c an monitor the
conditions the
la s er beam is experiencing. When monitoring material temperature to ac c ount for
material
ekpansion, the 10757 Material Temperature Sensor should be placed on the part of the
machine closest
to its di splacement measurement system.
As an example for sen s or placement, let 's consider making a measurement on a mill, s hown in
Figure 6-11 . In this case , il is ea sy to determine where the sensors should be. The 107 51 Air Sensor
s hou ld be placed nCkt to the beam in the measurement path. The 10757 Material Temperature
Sen s or should be placed as cl os e as po ss ible to the ma c hine ' ~ displacement measurement sys lern.
For Ihis rna chine, it is the table top.
N OTE
The Air Sensor should be mounted with its arrow pointing up , to
maximize accuracy, as s
hown in Figure 6-12. It s hould al so be
located in an
area with good air flow .
