Styli maintenance
Stylus balls, threads and mating faces should be cleaned using a proprietary cleaning cloth or solvent. Stylus
balls should be regularly inspected for damage or ‘pick-up’ of component material (a problem sometimes
encountered with continuous scanning). Renishaw offers a range of ball materials suited to scanning of different
component materials. See Renishaw’s styli catalogue (part number H-1000-3200), which can be downloaded
from www.renishaw.com/styli.
Connector maintenance
Regular checks should be made to make sure that the electrical connectors are properly located.
Controller fan filter maintenance
The fan intakes on the front of the Equator Controller have filters to prevent dust and other particles from
entering. These filters should be replaced regularly to prevent overheating of the controller.
When replacing the filters, ensure that the controller is powered down and unplug the power supply from the
mains. Carefully release the snap fit clips on the covers to reveal the filters. Once the filters are replaced, locate
the covers and clip back into position. A slight click may be audible when the covers locate.
Liquid spillage
• Reasonable measures should be taken to protect the system (machine and controller) from liquid spillage.
• If a spillage occurs, exercise caution when unplugging the power connector from the wall socket.
• Soak and wipe up the liquid using a dry, lint-free cloth.
• Inspect the system to see if any liquid ingress has occurred. If not, the power supply can be reconnected.
If liquid ingress occurs to the machine/controller, this is a potential electrical hazard, do not reconnect the power
connector. Please send the unit back to the supplier for replacement at customer’s cost. This type of damage
is not covered by the warranty or RBE scheme, so please ensure that the machine/controller is given the
protection required for the environment.
