3 TP200 installation procedure
3.1 Mounting the probe body on the probe head with M8 connection
CAUTION: Take great care not to drop the probe when installing.
1. Mount the probe body on the probe head before tting the stylus module.
2. Screw the threaded end of the probe body into the M8 connector, on the probe head, until it is nger tight. Do not over tighten
with your ngers.
3. Fit the S1 ‘C’ spanner (supplied) to the location holes and tighten by hand.
4. The recommended tightening torque is 0.3 Nm to 0.5 Nm.

3.2 Mounting the probe body on the probe head with Renishaw
autojoint
1. Before tting to the probe head, screw the probe body to a PAA series adaptor, as instructed for M8 heads.
2. Locate the adaptor on the probe head and lock autojoint using S10 key.

3.3 Assembling a stylus on a stylus module
1. Styli should always be screwed on to the module with the module removed from the probe body. Failure to do this can cause
damage to the TP200 sensor.

3.4 Mounting the stylus module on the probe body
1. Visually examine the mating faces of the stylus module and probe body for dirt or other contamination. Clean if necessary using
CK200 cleaning material (supplied).
2. Offer up the stylus module to the probe body ensuring that the alignment symbols are matched. Allow the stylus module to
engage under the pull of the magnetic force. It is suggested the module is rolled onto the contacts and not snapped into place as
severe shock can damage the TP200 sensor.
3. Reset the probe by pressing the RESET button, on the front panel of the PI 200-3 interface, for two seconds to reset the probe to
the seated (armed) state.

NOTE: An automatic change rack (SCR200) is available which will reduce the risk of damage of the TP200 probe sensor when
changing the modules.

4 Stylus module selection
The SF module is satisfactory for the majority of applications and provides the maximum stylus carrying capability.
The EO module is recommended for use when increasing the speed of the CMM may lead to stopping distances which exceed
the over travel range provided in the SF / LF modules. It is also suggested that this module should be used when the majority of
measurements are in the Z axis of the probe. The extra over travel protection of the EO module may prevent damage to the probe if a
crash occurs in the Z axis of the probe.

6 Maintenance
The kinematic coupling mechanism, connecting the probe body to the stylus module, incorporates precision ball / V groove seatings.
The coupling mechanism has been tested in a wide range of environments and is highly tolerant of non-metallic dust, but regular
inspection and cleaning with the CK200 material (supplied) is recommended to ensure continued high performance. Instructions for
use are included with the cleaning material (Renishaw part number A-1085-0016).
The user should determine the frequency of cleaning according to the conditions of use.
Stylus balls, threads and mating faces should be cleaned with a proprietary cleaning cloth or solvent.
Stylus modules that are not in use should be stored in spare ports in the SCR200 rack or in their transport boxes.
Before cleaning the probe body, please ensure either the power is off or that the probe body is removed from the probe head.
After cleaning the probe body and module re-attach the module following the instructions in the attaching stylus module section
above.
