2 Intended uses
2.1 General information about the intended use
Workshop microscopes from the RMM2010 series are optical or optical coordinate measurement
devices and may be used for the following purposes (= intended use):
• All models: Optical coordinate measurement of two-dimensional geometries (e.g.
points, lines, distances, circles, radii, angles) using the integrated transmitted and/or incident light
illumination.
• Details on the measurement range and maximum workpiece weight is provided in the
measurement range is dependent on the model. The maximum work piece size that can be
measured is determined from the measurement range of the measurement device. The following
must also be observed:
• The workpiece must be designed in such a way that it can be positioned securely or
fixed on the measurement table, ensuring that it cannot fall down and that the workpiece
and measurement device (sensor or housing) do not collide when the measurement
table is moved.
• Specifications regarding the measurement range apply to the primary sensor (camera).
If other sensors are used, the effective measurement range is reduced because of the following
conditions:
Offset between camera center point and probe tip center point.
Characteristics and offsets of other sensors.
It must be ensured that the measurement table is loaded evenly as this could otherwise
influence the measurement result.
The measurement device is designed for stationary applications
Any use of a RMM2010 that is not in accordance with the specified provisions and/or parameters is

3.5 Noise
If used as intended, a noise level of 70 dB(A) will not be exceeded in the operational environment
of the measurement device.
3.6 Vibrations
No health-related vibrations are emitted by the measurement device.
3.8 General safety notices for the WM1 series
3.8.1 Laser-specific hazards
The following explanations are provided in accordance with the applicable DIN standards
DIN EN 60 825-1 (VDE 0837-1):2015-07 "Safety of laser products" and Accident
Insurance (DGUV) specification 11 "Durchführungsanweisungen Laserstrahlung" ("Operational
instructions for laser radiation").
The positioning laser emits class 2M laser radiation. The available laser radiation is in the
visible spectral range of 400 nm to 700 nm. For short exposure times (up to 0.25 s), it is harmless
to the human eye as long as the cross section of the beam is not decreased with optical
instruments, e.g. magnifying glasses, lenses, telescopes. As long as no optical instruments, that
decrease the cross section of the beam, are used, the risk of class 2M laser devices is
comparable to that of class 2 laser devices.
If the eye is accidentally exposed to the laser radiation of a class 2 laser device for a short period,
i.e. exposure time of up to 0.25 s, it will not be at risk. Class 2 laser devices may therefore
be used without any other safety measures if it can be ensured that the application requires
neither deliberate eye contact of more than 0.25 s nor repeated eye contact with the laser radiation
or the laser radiation reflected by the mirror. Generally, the presence of the eyelid closing
reflex and other aversion responses to protect the eye cannot be assumed. Therefore if class 2
laser radiation strikes the eye, you should consciously close your eyes and turn your head away
immediately.
Warning: The laser emits class 2M laser radiation
Direct contact with the laser beam for a period of more than 0.25 s can damage the eyes.
• Never look into the direct or reflected laser beam.
• If the laser radiation strikes the eye, consciously close your eyes and turn your head away from
the beam immediately.
• No optical instruments, that decrease the cross section of the beam, may be used.
• The positioning laser must not be removed from its fastening, rotated in another direction or
modified or manipulated in any other way.
• The positioning laser must not be used for any other purpose than to position measurement
objects.
• The positioning laser should only be switched on when actually required.
• Any work, that requires the protective housing of the laser system to be removed, must only be
completed by qualified specialized staff from Ryf Ltd.

5.1 Installation location
NOTICE
The measurement device must be installed on a level, sufficiently load-bearing
and sufficiently wide surface.
The installation location for the measurement device must be selected so that no direct light
from windows or lights can penetrate the measurement table of the measurement device.
Additionally, when selecting an installation location it must be ensured that no inductive loads
from fluorescent tubes, welding sets, wire or vertical arc-erosion machines, etc. are connected
as these cause spikes in the power supply system. We therefore recommend using a separate
power supply for the measurement device. If disturbances should arise despite these measures,
an alternating voltage stabilizer or mains filter may be used depending on the type of disturbance
(both are available as accessories; if required, contact the Customer Services team).
5.2 General ambient conditions
The location of the measurement device must be selected to ensure that it is not exposed to
any interferences, such as
• Dust

Vibrations of the measurement device and heat sources in its surrounding area should also be
excluded as these can cause measurement inaccuracies. Certain temperature conditions are required to
meet the specified length measurement uncertainty
5.3 Ambient conditions for transport and storage
Minimum conditions:
• Permissible ambient temperature: 5 °C – 40 °C
• No dust
• No direct sunlight
• No rain and no humidity
5.4 General notes on transport and storage
The following points must be observed to prevent any damage and fatal injuries:
• The glass plate must not be inserted in the measurement device or measurement table
during transport.
• Only use transportation means that are in accordance with the applicable laws, regulations
and provisions of the respective country.
• The measurement device may only be transported by specialized staff who are trained
