Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
This product complies with the EMC Directive and the UK Electromagnetic Compatibility
Regulations; however, if this receives electromagnetic interference that exceeds these
requirements, it will be out of warranty and require appropriate measures.
This product is an industrial product, and is not intended to be used in residential
environment. If this product is used in residential environment, this product may cause
electromagnetic interference with other instruments. In such a case, it is required to take
appropriate measures for preventing such electromagnetic interference.
Precautions for Use
To obtain the highest performance from this instrument and to use it safely, read this
User's Manual prior to use.
This user's manual is intended for users of surface roughness testers SJ-410 standard
type, SJ-410 transverse tracing drive type, and SJ-410 detector retracting type.
"SJ-410" is used in almost all descriptions of this user's manual. If using model SJ-410
detector retracting type read this manual assuming "SJ-410" as "SJ-410 detector
retracting type". Unless otherwise noted, the manual gives common information about the
SJ-410 standard type and SJ-410 detector retracting type.
Observe the following precautions to get the most of the instrument and to attain high
accuracy for long time.
Caution
•This instrument has a sharp stylus at the edge of the detector. Take care not to be
injured.
IMPORTANT
•For the power supply, follow the conditions described on the AC adapter supplied. Do
not use other than the AC adapter provided.
•Do not disassemble the instrument unless otherwise specified in this User's Manual. It
will result in instrument failure or damage. The instrument has been rigorously adjusted
and assembled at the factory.
•Do not drop or give impact to the detector. The detector is a precision part.
•Do not use the instrument in an environment where it is subject to dust or vibrations.
Also keep it as far apart from noise generator such as large power supply, high-voltage
relay switch as possible.

No. 99MBB765A
iv
•Avoid using the instrument where there is sudden temperature change, and operate it
where the temperature is between 5 and 40 °C (RH: 85 % or less, free from dew
condensation). Do not operate/store the instrument close to a room heater or in the
direct sunlight.
•Store the instrument where the temperature can be controlled between -10 and 50 °C.
•When mounting the detector to the drive unit, take care not to apply excessive force to
the drive unit.
•Before connecting/detaching the connector or connecting cable, turn the power off (by
auto sleep function).
•The stylus tip is machined precisely. Take care not to break it.
•Before measurement, wipe off oil or dust on the work piece surface to be measured. For
supplying power to this system prepare an outlet rated to AC100V-240V ± 10%, 50/60
Hz. The supplied power should have a sufficient margin over the system consumption
rate.
•Do not place an object on the touch panel or give impact to the touch panel. Otherwise,
the touch panel may be damaged.
•Do not press the touch panel with a sharp-pointed object (such as a pen). Otherwise,
the touch panel may be damaged. To operate by the touch panel, use your finger or the
supplied touch pen.

Disposal of Products outside the European Countries
Please follow the official instruction in each community and country.
Disposal of Old Electrical & Electronic Equipment
(Applicable in the European Countries with separate
collection systems)
This symbol on the product or on its packaging is based on WEEE Directive (Directive on
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment), and this symbol indicates that this product
shall not be treated as household waste.
To reduce the environmental impact and minimize the volume of landfills, please
cooperate in reuse and recycle.

Disposal of Waste Batteries and Accumulators
(Applicable in the European Countries with Separate
Collection Systems)
EU
Hg
Batteries and accumulators containing heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and
cadmium may contaminate the environment if improperly discarded. When incinerated,
certain chemicals are released into the air or concentrated in the ash residue from the
combustion process; this may lead to a health risk to humans, animals and the
environment in general.
In compliance with legal requirements, the symbol of a 'crossed-out wheeled bin' is either
applied on the battery or on its packaging. This symbol indicates that disposal of the
batteries in household waste is strictly prohibited; instead the batteries have to be
disposed of by separate collection and recycling means. Additional marking identifies the
heavy metal content (i.e. Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead) as contained within
the battery if over prescribed levels.
End users are obliged by law to comply with the discarding procedure for waste
batteries. At Mitutoyo facilities, or at its appointed distributors, receptacles will be
provided to accept, at no charge, the disposal of previously supplied batteries.
