3 Operation

3.1 Mounting of the electronic unit

The electronic unit should be mounted on the tool post before use.

The tool post needs to be modified to allow for the mounting of the

electronic unit.

The Bluetooth antenna must point towards the operator when

positioning the electronic module. This area must not be blocked by

metal, in order to ensure proper signal range. The signal penetrates

through a closed machine, via the glass and gaps.

Bluetooth range depends on the distance between tool and PC

(normal range is 10 m) and the presence of any obstacles in between

them.

12

Make sure the location of the electronic unit allows for easy battery

insertion and removal. The electronic unit should be mounted

horizontally (central axis of battery) with screws in the six holes,

diameter 5 mm.

3.2 Connecting the electronic unit

Connect the cables between the electronic unit and the turning

adaptor. Insert battery to power up the electronic unit and sensors in

the turning adaptor.

NOTICE

The transmitter will always transmit a signal when the battery is

inserted, until the electronics disconnect the battery. This happens

when a low voltage threshold is reached. The threshold level is set

to be safe for the battery. The electronics power up again when a

charged battery is inserted.

13

To shut off the electronic unit, remove the battery.

NOTICE

Remove the battery if the electronic unit will not be used for a long

period of time. Mount the cover plug on the electronic unit to protect

the battery connector. Refer to section “7 Technical data” for infor-

mation on voltage, rated power and operating time.

Connecting cables

Install cables carefully to avoid sharp bends. Do not overbend the

cables, they may be damaged. Make sure the cables are not damaged

by moving/rotating parts of the lathe-/turn-mill centre and that no

weight is placed on top of them.

√ X

Orient the cable as indicated by the groove in the connector or the

N-mark. Push the cable straight into the connector.

NOTICE

Make sure not to rotate the cable during the push-pull movement.

14

Remove the cable by a pull. Grip the connector, not the cable, when

pulling.

√ X

Inserting battery

1. Orient the battery according to the position slot and insert the

battery into the electronic unit.

2. A soft click indicates when assembly is complete.
