Safety
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
There are no user serviceable parts inside the equipment.
The UCC PI 80 controller is only warranted and approved for use with the provided PSU.
The UCC PI 80 is isolated from ac power by disconnection of the IEC mains connector from the supplied PSU. If any additional means of
isolation is required, it must be specified and fitted by the machine manufacturer or installer of the product. The isolator / disconnection
device must be sited within easy reach of the operator and comply with IEC61010 and any applicable national wiring regulations for the
country of installation.
WARNING: Earthing of the UCC PI 80 is required. It is the responsibility of the OEM or installer to apply the earth bonding scheme
provided by Renishaw in this installation guide.
WARNING: The system can accelerate quickly during operation. The user must not enter the working volume of the CMM until all
power is removed. When within the working volume of the CMM, the user should wear eye protection.
WARNING: UCC PI 80 is isolated from ac power by disconnection of the IEC mains connector from the supplied PSU.
WARNING: Switching off or isolating the UCC PI 80 may NOT prevent unexpected machine movement. The user is advised to
isolate the machine from the electricity supply, compressed air or other energy sources in accordance with the machine
manufacturer's instructions before entering the danger zone or performing any maintenance operations.
CAUTION: It is strongly recommended that the CMM manufacturer or retrofitter includes in their maintenance instructions a
periodic test of the emergency stop and, if fitted, the associated reset switch.

Introduction
The UCC PI 80 is required for CMM systems which are fitted with Renishaw's SP80 scanning probe and facilitates the use of the UCC S3 as the
machine controller.
If the CMM system uses brushless motors, then the UCC PI 80 may be connected to a Renishaw SPA2-2 which provides power. Please see the
UCC BI user guide (Renishaw part number H-1000-7602) for configuration instructions.
If the CMM system uses motors which are not supported by Renishaw SPA products (e.g. above 80 V or 10 A), then the UCC PI 80 may be
connected to a third party analogue amplifier to provide power. Please see the UCC AI installation guide for configuration instructions.

General wiring standards
To achieve reliable operation of the UCC PI 80 the following should be observed:
All signal cables MUST be screened and all cable screens should be connected electrically to the cable connector's metal shells.
It is recommended that cable screens should only be connected to the functional earth (via the connector shell) of the UCC PI 80. To avoid
earth loops, cable screens should not be directly attached to the CMM's functional earth.
The grounding must be continuous between all equipment in the installation.
All cable connectors should be secured to the UCC PI 80 and SPA (where present) by the connector jack screws.
NOTE: When used for SP80 only, with an SPA3 and UCC S3, the amplifier ground will be connected to the UCC PI 80 ground
through the UCC S3.

UCC PI 80 can either be free standing or used in a 19 inch rack system.
WARNING: Ensure the UCC PI 80 is disconnected from the mains supply during installation.
Free-standing installation
The UCC PI 80 unit draws air from the right hand side when viewed from the front and expels air out of the left hand side. A minimum
clearance gap of 10 mm is necessary between the sides of the unit and any obstruction. The dimensions shown on the above drawing are in
mm (in).
