3. INSTALLATION Starrett vision metrology and optical comparator systems are normally installed by a factory- trained technician who also provides basic operator training. The information below covers basic hardware installation and wiring in the event that such an installer is not available. 3.1 Moving the Equipment Starrett AV Series vision metrology systems are shipped in a large 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 may damage its contents. 3.2 Uncrating the Equipment The following items are typically required to uncrate and install Starrett metrology system: 1. Phillips screwdriver 2. Battery powered drill (Phillips bit recommended) 3. Standard slotted screwdriver 4. Small slotted screwdriver for cable connections 5. Industrial level (2 recommended) 6. Needle nose pliers (6” long) 7. 6” crescent wrench (2 recommended) 8. Black cable ties 3.3 Placing the Equipment A clean operating environment is recommended to minimize the accumulation of dirt on the optics and on precision mechanical parts, such as lead screws and encoder scales. AV300 systems are available in the form of components for installation on a customer-furnished benchtop, or as a complete system with an ergonomic workstation. Component-level AV300 systems are designed to be installed at a height of approximately 85 cm (33.5”), which is the height of Starrett’s ergonomic workstation. A level work surface, as checked with a bubble level, is recommended, but is not essential. Allow 65 cm (25”) to right or left side of the metrology unit to position the 24” touch screen monitor and PC. An additional clearance of 30 cm (12”) or more is recommended on both sides for general access and to store parts and paperwork. Please refer to the drawings below for dimensions of the AV300 metrology unit. Starrett’s ergonomic workstation with a side wings for AV300 systems measures 85 cm (33.5”) high, 154 cm (60.5”) wide, and 84 cm (33”) deep. The side wing, which supports the all-in-one PC, can be attached to the right or left side of the pedestal, which supports the metrology unit. The pedestal contains two shelves which can hold the M3 controller, LED controller, brick power supplies for the controllers, other electronics, parts, and paperwork. Please see the photo on page 9. AV350 and AV450 systems come standard with a machine pedestal and a control cart which supports the video monitor, wireless keyboard, and wireless mouse. Please see the photo on page 10.
