the potential of electrical component damage caused by accidental short circuits. For
maximum electrical safety and minimal risk to the equipment, adhere to the following
guidelines:

AVR200 and AVR300 User Guide
9 6106 Revision D
• Ensure that the power receptacles for the AC adapters are properly grounded 3-prong
polarized 100-240VAC for use in North America or appropriate safety-rated receptacles
for use outside of North America.
• Do not operate the systems with housings open except for service by a factory trained
technician.
• Keep liquids away from the systems, and do not operate the equipment in excessively
humid conditions, as water can cause short circuits.
• Keep metal filings away from the systems, as such debris can cause short circuits.
• Do not operate the equipment around volatile or flammable solvents, as local electrical
heating could cause ignition.
• Disconnect power, or do not plug in the power cord, if hazardous conditions exist such as
a damaged or frayed power cord, a damaged or improperly grounded power receptacle,
equipment exposure to liquid spills or excessive moisture, or impact damage. Have the
system inspected by authorized personnel before operating.
There are no fuses or user-serviceable items in the systems. Systems should only be opened
by a factory-trained service technician.
Mechanical Safety
• AVR systems are heavy. To avoid possible back injury, use multiple persons to lift. Bend
your knees, not your back.
• Only manually lift AVR systems by the two red carrying handles and shipping lift bar. For
more information on lifting the system, refer to “Removing Shipping Retainers” later in this
guide.
• Motion of the metrology unit is motorized. Motion can be under full computer control or
simply under joystick and trackball control with the computer turned off. There are pinch
points. Do not place your hands or mechanical items at or near pinch points.
Emergency Stop
The AVR systems are equipped with two emergency stops as follows:
• Red button located on top of the joystick. Refer to the following figure.
• Emergency stop assembly that includes a switch, cable and DB9 connector. The DB9
connector is connected to the rear of the AVR system. This stop button should be placed
in a highly visible and accessible location in case of emergency. Refer to the following
figure.
When the Emergency Stop is engaged, the M3 software will continue to function as normal,
except in the following scenarios:
• If the Emergency Stop is engaged during the auto-homing sequence, all motion will
cease, and a dialog box will display the following message:
“An error occurred while auto homing. Measurements will be compromised.”
When the Emergency Stop is disengaged, nothing further will happen. The system should
now resume normal function and the auto-homing sequence will need to be re-run.
