Information to user (FCC section 15.105)
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class A digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
installation manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment
in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case you will be required to correct
the interference at your expense.
Information to user (FCC section 15.21)
The user is cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Renishaw plc or
authorised representative could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Care of equipment
Renishaw probes and associated systems are precision tools used for obtaining precise measurements
and must therefore be treated with care.
Changes to Renishaw products
Renishaw reserves the right to improve, change or modify its hardware or software without incurring any
obligations to make changes to Renishaw equipment previously sold.
Warranty
Renishaw plc warrants its equipment for a limited period (as set out in our Standard Terms and Conditions
of Sale) provided that it is installed exactly as defined in associated Renishaw documentation.
Prior consent must be obtained from Renishaw if non-Renishaw equipment (e.g. interfaces and/or cabling)
is to be used or substituted. Failure to comply with this will invalidate the Renishaw warranty.
Claims under warranty must be made from authorised service centres only, which may be advised by the
supplier or distributor.

Safety
Electrical requirements
The UCC1 is powered from the a.c. mains supply via an IEC 320 connector. The operating voltages of the
unit are as follows:
90 - 132 V ac and 180 - 264 V ac 47 - 63 Hz 80 W maximum
This equipment must be connected to a protective earth conductor via a three core mains (line) cable.
The mains plug shall be inserted only into a socket outlet provided with a protective earth contact.
The protective earth contact shall not be negated by the use of an extension cable without protective
conductor.
An earth stud is provided to allow bonding of the CMM’s metal parts to the protective earth.
CAUTION: Any interruption of the protective conductor may make the equipment
dangerous. Make sure that the grounding requirements are strictly observed.
Environmental requirements
The following environmental conditions comply with (or exceed) BS EN 61010-1:1993

NOTE: If a higher IP rating is required following a risk assessment by the installer of the equipment
an additional external enclosure will be required to house the UCC1. It is also the responsibility of the
installer to ensure that, if the equipment is used in a dusty environment, that filtering is supplied in the
enclosure to prevent excessive dust ingress.
NOTE: UCC1 main unit weight = 6 kg
