MU-A-RectiRail DL2-rev01a-Gb 43 / 44
10 PRECAUTIONS OF USE
- RectiRail DL2 is a measurement device
avoid all impacts on the rule
(falling, miscellaneous impacts, etc.).
- Also avoid impacts on the supporting parts and side stops.
- Likewise, leave the rule to settle in event of sudden changes in temperature or
dampness (moving from heated premises to the outside, etc.). As a rule, avoid all
thermal and hygrometric shocks.
- Carefully wipe and dry the RectiRail DL2 once it is returned to dry conditions, if it has
been exposed to rain or damp.
- The contact stops and holding magnets must be kept clean: remove any accumulation
of grease and dust on these parts.
- Regularly check the protection condition and cleanliness of the measurement area. If
necessary, wipe with a clean, non-abrasive cloth (do not use solvents).
- Presence of foreign bodies, water (droplets, etc.) or grease on the measured surface
may affect the result. Wipe the part before starting to measure.
- To guarantee measurement accuracy, calibrations must be performed regularly
(frequency depends on use) and at least once a year using a calibration kit.
- When not used, store the rule in its transport case and in a dry, temperate place.
- As the 2 stops on the RectiRail DL2 are connected by an electric wire, there must be
no voltage difference between the 2 stops on the rail. Caution must thus be paid to the
insulating joints.
- Insulating joints will not be measured correctly. Only the conductive parts on each side
will be measured if they are in contact with the stops.
