Take measurements
It is important to note which measurement mode is best suited for a particular
application. The table below gives a guide as to which measurement mode is
ideal for which measurement.
Table 7-1. Measurement mode and relevant applications
Measurement mode Application
Compass mode Horizontal machines (standard, uncoupled
shafts, nonrotatable shafts)
Clock mode Vertical machines (four feet
or ange-mounted)
When the laser beam is centered such that the dot on the display screen is at the
center of the crosshair, the Product’s right LED turns blue.
Note
Compass mode is the default measurement mode for horizontal machines. In
this mode, measurement points are taken at any three of the eight available
sectors.
Note
Clock measurement mode which is the default for vertical machines, is de-
scribed in chapter 9 ‘Vertical shaft alignment’ starting on page 107.
Note
If coupling torsion play (backlash) is suspected, turn the shaft or coupling
end where the prism is mounted. Ensure shaft is turned in the normal rotation
direction of the machine.
