2 Safety

Safety
In all applications involving the use of machine tools or co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs) eye
protection is recommended.

There are no user serviceable parts inside Renishaw’s mains powered units. Return defective units to an
authorised Renishaw Customer Service Centre.

Replace blown fuses with new components of the same type. Refer to the SAFETY section of the
relevant product documentation.

For instructions regarding the safe cleaning of Renishaw products refer to the MAINTENANCE section of
the relevant product documentation.

Remove power before performing any maintenance operations.

Always allow sufficient time for electrical charge to dissipate from electrical components before handling.

Observe anti-static handling precautions, including the use of earth straps with plug-in cards.

Refer to the machine supplier’s operating instructions.

It is the machine supplier’s responsibility to ensure that the user is made aware of any hazards involved in
operation, including those mentioned in Renishaw product documentation, and to ensure that adequate
guards and safety interlocks are provided.

Under certain circumstances the probe signal may falsely indicate a probe seated condition.

Do not rely on probe signals to stop machine movement.

The expected method of providing an emergency stop for Renishaw products is to remove power.

Product care
Renishaw probes and accessories are precision instruments.

Please use and maintain the products in accordance with these instructions.

For instructions regarding product care of Renishaw products refer to the PRODUCT CARE section of the
relevant product documentation.

1 Introduction
This guide contains comprehensive information on the most commonly used Renishaw cables.

It is of particular use to engineers involved in installation or support of Renishaw equipment on CMMs, or

where correct cable identification is required.

Further information for signals, connectors and switch settings of controllers and interfaces can be found
in the Renishaw CMM products switch setting and connector guide H-1000-4068 or relevant installation
and user’s guides.

Renishaw cables are identified by marker rings or printing to show the ‘PL’ number.

These markers have an S, T, V or U suffix to reflect the cable function and design.

Further customised cable solutions are available for specific applications, please contact Renishaw for
further details.

D-type socket and end ‘C’ is a 15-pin high density D-type socket. It is used to combine a multiwire system
with a standard probe system (using PICS) without the need for an IS 1-2 interface selector to route
signals.
