Warning
•Do not use this unit with voltages other than the specified supply voltages as this may
result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not perform installation work with wet hands as this may result in electric shock.
•Do not disassemble or modify the unit as this may result in injury or damage the
internal circuits.
•This device is a class 1 laser product using a semiconductor laser with wavelength of
790 nm that is outside the visible range. The maximum output of the laser is 6 mW
(class 3B).
•Although the laser beams emitted from the head interior are invisible to the eye, they
are hazardous to the human body. Therefore, never disassemble the scale unit, or try
to look into it from the sealed section of the scale unit. Also, never insert foreign objects
into the sealed section of the scale unit.

Operating Precautions
•An antistatic cap and antistatic connector are attached to the connector plugs of the interface unit and
slider. Do not remove these until you are ready to connect the peripherals.
Also, after removing the antistatic cap and antistatic connector of the connector plug, be particularly
careful not to touch the connector pins.Touching the connector pins can damage the scale.
•The antistatic cap and antistatic connector can be reused after they are removed, and so be careful that
you do not lose them.
•Be sure that all connectors of the interface unit and slider are connected to the peripherals before
turning on the power switch. Never insert or remove the connectors while the power is turned on.
•Do not pull at the cable forcibly or bend it excessively. (Bending radius (inside) Static: 30 mm or more, Moving:
100 mm or more)
•Use the BL55-RU approximately 10 minutes after power is supplied to the unit, when the temperature of the
detector head reaches a stable state.
•The BL55-RU is a precision measuring instrument. Handle it with extreme care so that no excessive shock is
applied to it. For transport, be sure to pack it in the same way as it was packed at the time of purchase. Be sure
to always attach the antistatic cap and antistatic connector.
Notes on installation
Take careful note of the following points when installing the scale unit to prevent noise and electromagnetic interfer-
ence from other equipment.
•Do not pass the head cable and connection cable through the same duct as the power line.
•Install in a location that is at least 0.5 meters separated from sources of high voltage and large currents and
large power relays.
Notes on attachment location
•Attach the scale in a location as near as possible to the workpiece and measurement object of the machine.
•Use this product in an environment with an ambient temperature of 0 to 40 °C.
Do not attach it to a location that is exposed to direct sunlight or warm air or near sources of heat such as motors.
This could adversely affect the accuracy.
•Never place objects on top of the attached scale, rest your elbows or feet on the scale when using it, or apply an
excessive amount of pressure to the scale.
Notes on operating environment
If using the scale unit in environments qor wbelow, be sure to always take the following preventative measures.
If these measures are not taken, scale quality cannot be guaranteed.
qWhen using a water-based cutting fluid, performing machining where fine metal dust is produced, or
machining ceramic, fiberglass, and similar types of workpieces
wWhen installing on a device performing high-speed sliding over a specific area for extended periods of
time, such as a homing machine
• Attach in a location where the water-based cutting fluid and cuttings do not fall directly on the scale.
•Mount the scale cover so that the mist and particles from the water-based cutting fluid do not get inside the
scale.
•Inject clean air that passes through an air filter, mist separator, or other devices.
