Testing precautions

Light interference
External light can cause errors in roll measurement performance.
To minimise the effect of light interference the user should:
• Always use the beam shroud
• Switch off the machine lighting
• Minimise external lighting
Sources of lighting that can affect the performance are:
• Sunlight
• Flashing beacons
• Welding
• LED and fluorescent room lighting
Performance can be affected by abnormal changes in any of the above. It is
important to consider light effect and reflections over the full range of the axis
under test.
CARTO allows the user to perform an ambient light check. See Capture user
guide for details.
