PROTECTION AGAINST DUST
AND WATER
The dust and water resistance of the Linear Gage conforms to IP-54 (DIN40 050-1/IEC529 Specifications).
CAUTION
•
The preamplifier and counter are not resistant to water. Do not use them in a place where they may be sub-
jected to water or oil.
•
If an extension cable is used, completely coat the connections on the cable and preamplifier with a sealant.
•
If the insulating cover of the connecting cable is damaged, liquid may enter the Linear Gage, causing a mal-
function. Have the damaged cable repaired immediately.
•
Cutting chips may damage the rubber boot, reducing its resistance to dust and water. Replace the damaged
rubber boot with a new one or have it repaired immediately.
•
Some types of chemicals or coolants may corrode the rubber boot and rubber seals. If rubber parts deterio-
rate too quickly, contact the nearest Mitutoyo sales office.
•
The Linear Gage is sealed and cannot be disassembled. Never attempt to disassemble it. Otherwise, seals
may be damaged, deteriorating the performance of the Linear Gage.
