Safety
Information to the user
In all applications involving the use of machine
tools or CMMs, eye protection is recommended.
Refer to the machine supplier’s operating
instructions.
The LP2 system must be installed by a
competent person, observing relevant safety
precautions. Before starting work, ensure that the
machine tool is in a safe condition with the power
switched OFF and the power supply to the HSI-C /
HSI / MI8-4 is disconnected.
Information to the machine supplier/installer
It is the machine supplier’s responsibility to
ensure that the user is made aware of any
hazards involved in operation, including those
mentioned in Renishaw product literature, and
to ensure that adequate guards and safety
interlocks are provided.
If the probe fails, the probe signal may falsely
indicate a probe seated condition. Do not rely
on probe signals to halt the movement of the
machine.
Information to the equipment installer
All Renishaw equipment is designed to comply
with the relevant EU and FCC regulatory
requirements. It is the responsibility of the
equipment installer to ensure that the following
guidelines are adhered to, in order for the product
to function in accordance with these regulations:
• any interface MUST be installed in a position
away from any potential sources of electrical
noise (for example, power transformers,
servo drives);
• all 0V/ground connections should be
connected to the machine “star point” (the
“star point” is a single point return for all
equipment ground and screen cables). This
is very important and failure to adhere to this
can cause a potential difference between
grounds;
