Installation and Setup

5.

This section provides information on unpacking, installing, and setting up the AVR systems. SKE metrology systems are normally installed by factory-trained technicians who also provide operator training. The following information covers basic hardware installation if an installer is not available. Refer to “On-Site Installation, Calibration and Training” later in this section for more information on SKE installation and calibration services.

5.1 Planning the Placement of Equipment

When planning the placement of the AVR systems, refer to the following recommendations:

• Ensure a clean operating environment to minimize the accumulation of dirt on the optics and on precision mechanical parts, such as lead screws and encoder scales.

• Ensure the planned installation location has the proper electrical requirements. Refer to “Electrical Specifications” earlier in this document for detailed information.

• Select an installation location where the temperature can be controlled to within 20°C ± 0.5°C (68°F ± 5°F), which is the calibration temperature of the system.

• It is recommended (but not essential) the system be placed on a level work surface using a bubble level for verification.

• AVR systems are designed to be installed on a benchtop at a height of approximately 85 centimeters (33.5 inches), which is the height of the workstation offered by SKE.

• Allow 60 centimeters (24 inches) to right or left side of the metrology unit to position the monitor.

• Allow additional clearance of 30 centimeters (12 inches) on both sides is recommended for general access.

• Allow a minimum of 5 centimeters (2 inches) behind the unit for air flow, as the electronics compartment only uses convective air cooling.

• Allow 50 centimeters (20 inches) of space at the back of the unit to completely open the hinged door for service access. If necessary, the metrology unit can be moved as needed for service.

Refer to “System Specifications” earlier in this document for the detailed information on the dimensions of the system.

5.2 Moving the Equipment

AVR metrology units are shipped in a wooden shipping crate. Use a forklift or pallet cart to move the crate within the building to the final location where the system will be installed. Exercise care in handling the unopened shipping crate, as excessive force or a drop can damage the contents.
