• Lifting or moving the Equator should only be attempted by two people, using the-hand hold locations
provided in the base casting (1).
• Do not move or lift the machine by the top casting (5), the support arms of the constraint mechanism (9),
the support legs (4), or the three drive struts (e.g. by holding the orange protectors or any part of the drive
strut mechanism) (6).
• Potential finger traps and pinch points exist between:
• support arm (9) and casting (5);
• support arm (9) and constraint mechanism (12);
• upper pivot (8) and drive strut (6);
• platform (3) and piece part (14);
• platform (3) and constraint mechanism (12);
• the struts of the constraint mechanisms (12) in the centre.
Users should not touch the Equator in these locations.
• To warn users of potential risks involved with moving parts, active parts are coloured bright orange (3), (6),
(7), (9).
• When the stop button is engaged, hold mode is activated and the machine status light on the floating
platform flashes amber. In hold mode, a slow, servo assisted movement of the platform will be allowed. The
probe should be held close to the platform to reposition in the desired direction. The module and stylus
should not be used to move the platform.
• When connecting a joystick, stop button or Button Interface (15) to the Equator, it must be disconnected
from the mains power supply. Not doing so can cause damage to the circuitry.
• Never keep an additional non-connected joystick, stop button or Button Interface (15) in the vicinity of the
system to avoid user confusion.
• It is prohibited for the user to enter the working volume during automatic operations. The operator is
instructed not to have their hand, or any other part of their body, in the machine during operation.
• During homing, the machine is in automatic mode and will only halt if the physical stop button (15) is
engaged.
• To avoid unexpected movements of the Equator, always recalibrate all probing tools after importing a new
environment into Equator Server.
• On systems already fitted with the SP25 probe (2), the SP25 body contains high power LEDs which emit
invisible infrared radiation. The user cannot be exposed to this radiation unless the probe is mechanically
damaged. Please refer to the SP25 Installation and Integration Guide, H-1000-7541.
• If this equipment is not used in its intended manner, any protection provided may be impaired and the
warranty may be voided.
