Environmental and Safety Information
2.
This section provides the environmental and safety information for the AVX systems.
2.1 Environmental Conditions
AVX systems are factory calibrated under the standard laboratory environmental conditions shown in the following tables.
Calibration Environment
Specification
Requirement
Ambient Temperature
20 ° C ± 0.5°C (68°F ± 2°F)
Humidity
40-60% RH
Temperature rate of change
0.5°C (1°F) per hour
Operating Environment
AVX systems can be safely operated under the following environmental conditions:
Environmental Condition
Operational Requirement
Ambient Temperature
20 ° C ± 3°C (68°F ± 2°F)
Humidity
< 90% RH
If the system is to be operated under environmental conditions that are substantially different from those in the previous table, the system should be recalibrated under the expected conditions. You should also consider the material characteristics of the parts under inspection, for example, coefficients of thermal expansion. Numerical compensation might be required when measuring parts under conditions different from those controlling the stated dimensional specifications for these parts. Before performing critical parts measurements, allow the system to warm up and temperature stabilize for 30 minutes.
2.2 Safety Considerations
General Safety
AVX systems are designed for safety and proper ergonomics during normal use. Exercise caution when handling or moving the systems to maintain calibration and measurement performance. Disconnect all power sources prior to moving or working on the equipment. Consult SKE if you have any question regarding transporting, using, or maintaining the systems.
Electrical Safety
AVX systems do not contain hazardous AC line voltages, as these are contained on the input side of the system’s AC adapters, which are UL listed. Even at these low voltages, there is the potential of electrical component damage caused by accidental short circuits. For maximum electrical safety and minimal risk to the equipment, adhere to the following guidelines:
