4. INSTALLATION
4.1
General Information
Before starting the P3UP installation operations the operator must ensure that all the normal mechanical
workshop equipment is available.
NO SMOKING
During the assembly operations, operators must not handle foreign or dangerous objects, as
their hands must be free to react rapidly.
For this reason smoking is prohibited while installing the unit.
4.1.1 Environmental conditions
Upon installation the operator must check that the final machine has been designed and constructed to
operate in the environmental conditions set out below.
4.1.1.1 Type of environment
The P3UP and the relative electrical components have been designed and constructed to be installed in an
industrial plant and to be used only in closed environments where they cannot be subject to atmospheric
agents.
Unless indicated otherwise in the contract the P3UP can operate regularly only in the environmental
conditions set out below. Environmental conditions that differ from the ones indicated could cause failures or
breakages and generate dangerous situations for the health and safety of the operators and people
exposed.
4.1.1.2 Explosion and/or fire
DANGER OF EXPLOSION AND/OR FIRE
P3UP does not satisfy the requirements of the 94/9/EC (ATEX) directive.
The product has not been designed and manufactured to be operated in environments where

4.1.1.6 Contaminating agents
The electrical components have been adequately protected against the infiltration of solid and liquid bodies
for the intended use of the P3UP and the environment that the P3UP is used in.
Unless otherwise stated in the contract, the electrical components DO NOT have specific protections against
contaminating agents such as dust, liquids, acids, corrosive gases, salt, etc.
If using electrical components and the complete equipment in environments subject to such contaminating
agents contact Marposs immediately. Marposs will check the suitability of the assembly based on the
environments they are used in.
4.1.1.7 Ionizing and non-ionizing radiation
The electrical components DO NOT additional protections against radiation such as microwaves, ultraviolet
rays, laser or X-rays.
If the P3UP is exposed to radiation, additional measures must be implemented to prevent to incorrect
operation of the components and their early deterioration.
4.1.1.8 Lighting of a 'normal' environment
The installation operations must be performed in ‘normal’ light conditions, so that the operator is not dazzled
or the operator must not strain his eyesight with poor lighting.
The P3UP installers must comply with the minimum requirements set out by the applicable laws in the
respective countries in terms of natural and artificial lighting of the premises.
If there is poor lighting in the work place the operator must use portable lighting equipment.
4.1.1.9 Removing the P3UP from its packaging
Marposs has not stipulated and special equipment to be used when removing the P3UP from its packaging.

5. GENERAL EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The P3UP connected to the Marposs measurement heads can be used to check the dimensions of the part
in the machine and display the state of the machining process. The value of the measurement during the
grinding process is compared with the pre-defined stock metal values, thus providing the machine with the
signals it requires in order to control the progress of the grinding wheel. The P3UP and Marposs measuring
heads input protection ratings mean that they are suitable for use in a workshop environment.
5.1 Product versions
