1.1
WELCOME TO OUR WORLD
For more than 30 years, ACOEM has helped
industries throughout the world to achieve
more profitable and sustainable production.
We have reached where we are today by
having the courage to think beyond the norm
and follow slightly unconventional paths. We
have had the courage to make mistakes and
find new directions. Through our resolve,
ambition and knowledge we have become a
global player and a leader in innovative, user-
friendly reliability solutions.
SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS
During our 30+ years in this industry, we have
explored, tweaked, and tested more than
anyone. Some might say we are incurable
innovators whereas others might say that we
are highly focused. They both probably have
a point. If we had not been devoted and
ambitious, we would not have been the first in
the field of laser alignment to have a touch
screen. Nor would we have been pioneers in
the use of visible lasers and dual
measurement heads. Nor would we have
been the first to bring a wireless vibration
sensor for machine diagnostics. We are now
the first to provide a combined alignment and
diagnostic solution on standard mobile
devices.
Over the years, we have learnt to never
compromise on quality, and we are constantly
in search of new, unexplored opportunities by
combining advanced technology with design
and function. By doing so, we have become
the leading innovator in our industry. Not only
do we minimize wear, production stoppages
and costs, but we also help save the
environment. Natural resources are in short
supply and if we can contribute to a more
sustainable world by making it a little bit
straighter, we could not be happier.

1.2
TRUE COMMITMENT
One reason for our success is our solid
commitment. We have ensured that we
remain attentive to constantly pick up on the
needs of the market. Our expert employees
and dedicated dealers in over 70 countries
are undoubtedly our most important asset.
Satisfaction and team spirit are of particular
importance to us and are consistently at the
top of our priority list. With experience from a
wide range of industries and manufacturing
processes, we are fully aware of the problems
and needs of our end-customers. We are
passionate about what we do, and we are
driven by the desire to eliminate anything in
the industry worldwide that may be even
slightly out of line.
PURE USABILITY
Our design and user-friendliness are carefully
interwoven. As we develop new products,
they also become cleaner, smarter, more
functional, and more robust. An industrial
environment is demanding, infinitely more
difficult to work in and inevitably subject to
time pressure. There is no place for
equipment with unnecessary functions,
complicated interfaces and that is difficult to
assemble.
Usability and user friendliness mean
everything, not only to us but also to our
customers. We have designed products that
are easy to learn and can be incorporated
quickly. By removing non-essential functions,
we make life less difficult for our users –and
probably a little more difficult for our
competitors.

SAFETY
Retain and follow all product safety and
operating instructions. Observe all warnings
on the product and in the operating
instructions.
Failure to observe the safety pre-cautions and
operating instructions can cause bodily injury,
fire, and damage to the equipment.
Do not disassemble, modify, or use the
equipment in other ways than explained in the
operating instructions. ACOEM AB will not
accept any liability for such use.
WARNING!
Do not mount equipment on
running machines and take all
appropriate measures to
prevent unintentional start-up of
machines. Make sure to fully
comply with all appropriate shut
down procedures, safety
measures and regulations at
worksite and local regulations
regarding safety in a machine
environment.

3.2
LASER PRECAUTIONS
The system uses laser diodes with a power
output of < 1.0 mW. The laser classification is
Class 2.
Class 2 is considered safe for its intended use
with only minor precautions required. These
are:
•Never stare directly into the laser
transmitter.
•Never shine the laser directly into
anyone else’s eyes.
CAUTION!
USE OF CONTROLS OR
ADJUSTMENTS OR
PERFORMANCE OF
PROCEDURES OTHER THAN
THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN
MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS
RADIATION EXPOSURE.

3.3
Your system complies with the requirements
in:
•IEC-60825-1:2007
•British Standard BS EN 60825-1
•DIN EN 60825-1
•USA FDA Standard 21 CFR, Ch 1, Part
1040.10 and 1040.11

3.4
POWER SUPPLY
The sensors are powered by high-capacity
rechargeable Li-Ion batteries mounted in the
sensors or by the external power unit.
The sensors (M8 and S8) can be connected
to their charger and charged while lying in the
case. It is important that the lid of the case is
open during the charging and that the charger
is placed outside the case or else the system
will not be charged properly and might be
damaged.
Do not expose the power adapter to rain or
wet conditions.
Always unplug the charger from the electrical
outlet after charging.
Leaving a display unit or a measurement unit
with an empty battery for a prolonged time
can reduce the capacity of the battery or even
damage the battery.
If the system is not used for a long time,
charge the batteries to approximately 50-75%
before storing the system, if kept in storage
repeat this every 3-4 month (if needed).
When used in typical conditions the battery
will sustain good capacity for approximately 2-
3 years before needing replacement. Contact
your sales representative for battery
replacement.
The batteries contain safety circuitry to
operate safely with the display unit. The unit
can therefore only be used with the Li-Ion
batteries supplied by ACOEM.
Improper replacement of batteries can cause
damage and risk for personal injury.

3.5
WARNING!
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
SHALL ONLY BE
PERFORMED BY
AUTHORIZED ACOEM
REPRESENTATIVES.
USE OF ANY OTHER
BATTERIES THAN THOSE
SUPPLIED BY ACOEM WILL
CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO
THE SENSOR AND CAN
CAUSE RISK FOR PERSONAL
INJURY!
Handle any batteries with care. Batteries pose
a burn hazard if handled improperly. Do not
disassemble and keep away from heat
sources. Handle damaged or leaking batteries
with extreme care. Please keep in mind that
batteries can harm the environment. Dispose
of batteries in accordance with local
regulatory guidelines, if in doubt contact your
local sales representative.
Only use the external power adapters
supplied by ACOEM for use with the sensors.
Using other power adapters can cause
damage to the unit and personal injury.

3.6
WIRELESS TRANSCEIVER
The sensors are fitted with Bluetooth wireless
transceivers.
Make sure that there are no restrictions on the
use of radio transceivers at the site of
operation before using the wireless
transceivers.
WARNING!
Before using the wireless
transceivers make sure that
there are no restrictions on the
use of radio transceivers at the
site. Do not use on aircraft.

4.1
CARE
PACKING THE CASE
CLEANING
The system should be cleaned with a cotton
cloth, or a cotton bud moistened with a mild
soap solution, except for the detector and
laser window surfaces, which should be
cleaned with alcohol.
For the best possible function, the laser diode
apertures, detector surfaces and connector
terminals should be kept free from grease or
dirt.

4.2
Do not use paper tissue, which can scratch
the detector surface.
Do not use acetone.
The chains on the V-brackets are delivered
dry. If the system is used in highly corrosive
environments, the chains should be oiled.
DATE OF CALIBRATION
DISCREPANCY
Our instruments store the electronic date of
the latest calibration of the instrument. Due to
production processes and storage time, this
date will differ from the date of the calibration
certificate. Hence, it is the date of the
calibration certificate which is important and
that indicates when the next calibration is due.
