On-board help Active Clock measurement In Active Clock, measurement points can be taken between a minimum of 3 to a maximum of the 8 available sectors. The range in which the sectors become active and therefore points may be taken is the given clock position (in degrees) + 11.25 degrees. For example, the 1:30 o'clock position will be active when the sensor and reflector are at a rotational angle between 34 - 56 degrees.

Measurement points are taken at any of the eight available sectors. The desired number of measurements points is set in "Configuration" under 'Default settings'. Three measurement points are necessary to determine the alignment condition. Once the laser beam has been centered, rotate shafts to the first measurement position Note If coupling torsion play (backlash) is suspected, turn the shaft or coupling end where the reflector is mounted. Ensure shafts are turned in the normal rotation direction of the machine, and that the mating parts are engaged. Backlash may also be minimized by taping tight the coupling. Remember not to touch mounted components. This includes the brackets and the support posts, which are NOT to be used to rotate the shafts. When the sensor and reflector are within the sector range, a pulsating M (1) comes into view. Tap the pulsating M or to take the first measurement position.

may be taken is the given clock position (in degrees) +

Active Clock is the default measurement mode used to measure standard horizontal coupled
machines. Measurement points are taken at any of the eight available sectors. The desired
number of measurements points is set in "Configuration" under 'Default settings'. Three meas-
urement points are necessary to determine the alignment condition.
Once the laser beam has been centered, rotate shafts to the first measurement position
Note
If coupling torsion play (backlash) is suspected, turn the shaft or coupling end where the
reflector is mounted. Ensure shafts are turned in the normal rotation direction of the
machine, and that the mating parts are engaged. Backlash may also be minimized by
taping tight the coupling.
Remember not to touch mounted components. This includes the brackets and the sup-
port posts, which are NOT to be used to rotate the shafts.
When the sensor and reflector are within the sector range, a pulsating
M
(

) comes into view.
