Please make sure that sufficient lighting is available.
The use of sources of heat near the CMM must be avoided wherever possible.
1.2
Required Floor Surface
A cutout layout plan is included in this brochure to give you a quick overview of the required floor surface. When preparing the space assignment plan, make sure that your CMM is well accessible from all sides.
Please select the installation site so that there is a distance of at least 800 mm between the CMM and the wall.
1.5
General Protective Measures
The CMM must be protected against dirt and foreign particles (e.g. casting sand, metal filings and bore chips, oil, coolants, lubricants and soot). Deposits of materials such as casting sand and swarf may lead to increased expenses for cleaning and maintenance.
1.3
Transport Lanes
Please check the ground-floor and upper-storey floor loading capacity of all transport lanes leading to the installation site. The doorways must be at least 5 cm wider and higher than the largest packaged unit, including the transport vehicle. The dimensions and weights of the transport units are specified in this brochure.
1.4
Ambient Conditions
Bridge-type coordinate measuring machines are hightech products. Their specified quality is attainable only if you ensure that the following conditions are met.
1.6
Vibrations at the Installation Site
The following diagram(s) show(s) the permissible floor vibrations.
Vibrations are often caused by heavy processing machinery, transport vehicles (cranes or stackers) and stamping or forging machines located in adjacent rooms.
A measurement is required to determine the actual magnitude of local floor vibrations. You can order such a vibration analysis from Carl Zeiss Oberkochen. Please call or e-mail your contact person for more details.
In any case, the results must be made available to CZO for evaluation.
Permissible Storage Temperature Range
5°C to 40°C
Pay special attention to the storage temperature during winter. Avoid storing at temperatures below 5°C.
1.7
Floor Load
When calculating or planning any floor reinforcement
(foundation etc.) which may be required, it is advisable to

2. Preparation for installation/Required connections/Transport/
Storage
The following preparations must be made prior to the installation date:
2.1
Preparing the Floor Surface
The floor surface must be clean and the unevenness of the bearing surfaces must not exceed max. 25 mm.
2.2
Electric Power Supply
We recommend connecting the system to a power source which does not supply electricity to peak-load or high-consumption equipment (elevators, air conditioning systems). Due to the possibility of negative influences, avoid installing the CMM near
– High-consumption equipment
(e.g. welding machines)
– High-interference (EMI) equipment
(e.g. electron discharge machines).
The use of mobile telephones or walkie talkies within a radius of 3m surrounding the CMM is also prohibited.
This precaution is necessary to prevent malfunctions,
especially in connection with data processing systems.
A permanent connection (max. 16A) must be provided for the system. Alternatively, a 3-wire CEE-form plug connection is also acceptable. A 5-plug multiplex outlet must be provided by you (the customer) for the data station.
We recommend the on-site installation of a surge arrester, e.g. Phoenix Flashtrab FLT 25-400, as basic protection against surge voltage.
We recommend making the connection as shown in the following drawing,
taking into account that all pertaining national regulations also must be observed.
2.3
Electric Power Supply Parameters
To ensure trouble-free data transmission between the
Connection diagram
Proposed permanent connection (customer installation (national voltage))
CMM and the data station, the line power supply must comply with the following specifications.

Warning !
This is a class A device, and may therefore cause radio interference in the surrounding area. In such cases, the operator may be required to take appropriate action and bear any costs thus incurred.
2.5
Stabilizing the line voltage
If out-of-tolerance r.m.s. fluctuations of the nominal voltage briefly occur, a line analysis must be performed.
Please contact us if you have such a requirement. We will be glad to advise you and suggest suitable measures. In most cases, it is sufficient to install a separate stub cable from the main distributor to the CMM.

Teleservice
You will require an Internet connection for Teleservice.
For more details, please refer to the
"Teleservice"
brochure.
2.8
Compressed Air Supply
Please make sure that the air pressure required to operate your CMM is available as described below:
● Minimum pressure 6 bar, max. pressure 10 bar.
●
Prefiltered air; completely free of contaminating particles, oil vapors and water residues.
● Air quality in compliance with ISO 8573 Part 1 Classification 4, which includes:
Par. 6.1: Max. particle size 15 µm, max. dirt particle concentration 8 mg/m
3
Par. 6.2: Max. compressed air dew point +3 °C
Par. 6.3: Max. oil concentration of 5 mg/m
3
If the above air quality is not attained, it may be necessary to add an additional downstream air filtration unit and, in some cases, a membrane dryer to the compressed air line of the CMM. These units can be ordered from CZ. Please ask your contact person for more information.
Note!
Failure to comply with the above air quality specifications could result in damage not covered by your warranty.
Air consumption of CMM:
Max. 30 l/min at 5 bar (150 normal liters/min at 1 bar)
Connecting point for compressed air
A connection with a compressed air coupling for a ¼“
NPT plug-in fitting is required to connect the machine to the compressed air supply. This connection must be provided by you as illustrated in the section entitled
"CMM installation dimensions and arrangement of the steel plates"
. A compressed air hose with a ¼“ NPT plug-in fitting (included in the scope of supply) must be laid and connected during installation.
When laying the connection up to the CMM, make sure that the connecting parts are readily accessible and are not obstructed by the base of the CMM.
2.9
Transport Vehicles
Please provide a forklift with sufficient carrying capacity and fork length to unload the packaged units and transport them to the storage or installation site. The loading capacities required of these vehicles are specified on the following pages.
All transport lanes and approaches should be kept open during the entire installation and startup period to help ensure trouble-free installation.
The transport locks and braces on the CMM, pallet (
shipping crate)
and lashing straps must be returned to CZ.
Packing materials such as e.g. foils or styrofoam chips ("popcorn") are recycled by Carl Zeiss and
Note!
should be returned to CZ along with the transport stops and braces if they are clean and no dirt has been mixed in with them.
2.10 Unloading/Storing/Unpacking
With outdoor temperatures below 0°C, CMM assemblies with granite guideways are not enclosed in a protective
PVC bag, but sealed air-tight along with a drying agent in an aluminum-coated foil (insulated packaging).
Unloading and transport must be performed only with transport lugs or pallets.
Be careful not to damage the insulated packaging!
Please remember that your CMM is a valuable, high-precision instrument. For this reason, you should avoid jolting or knocking the crate at all times.
Please leave the crates packed and store them in a sheltered location as close as possible to the installation site.
Adaptation to room temperature:
Store the crates in a room with a minimum ambient temperature of 15° C at least 2 days before our system specialist arrives. The crates may be unpacked and the insulated packaging may be removed only by our system specialist! Please also make sure that a place suitable for depositing the empty containers is provided.
2.11 Moving the CMM to another location
Note!
A system specialist should always be present when moving the CMM to another location as a precaution to ensure that it is not damaged.

Installation of Floor Stripe or Chain
The dangers posed by the CMM are impossible - or at least difficult - for untrained personnel to recognize. For this reason, a restricted-access zone must be set up around the machine to prevent damage or injury caused by untrained personnel.
The entrance to this area should be be clearly marked by a warning sign reading:
"Admittance only for authorized personnel"
and may be entered only by persons who have received proper training (operators).
