Using the Contact Adapter
Handling contact tips
Analog Output Terminals and Pulse Output Terminals
• Always use the screw to tighten the contact adapter to
the main body. If it becomes loose, the instrument may
vibrate or be dislocated and become a hazard.
• Be careful when measuring with the contact adapter
because rotation and vibration of the instrument can pro-
duce erratic results with either high or low rotation speeds.
Hold the main body firmly against the rotator. Do not place
the instrument on a tripod when making measurements.
• When using the contact adapter for measuring, the
instrument is subject to vibration, so measurements
should be made only below 19,999 r/min or 333 r/s.
• When using the Contact Adapter, do not mount the instru-
ment on a tripod.
• Verify that the contact tip has been inserted sufficiently
into the adapter axis before beginning measurement. Fail-
ure to insert the contact tip sufficiently into the adapter
axis may cause it to separate from the axis, contact the
rotating object, and fly off in the vicinity of the object.
• If the contact tip is able to come into contact with the
rotating object, exercise caution when winding it onto the
object.
• Do not allow rubber contact tips to come into contact with
hot measurement targets. Doing so may cause the con-
tact tip to melt.
To avoid electrical hazards and damage to the instrument,
do not apply voltage exceeding the rated maximum to the
Analog Output Terminals and Pulse Output Terminals.
