The P1 is designed and constructed to be installed in machines such as grinders as a machining control accessory. The P1 must be installed in accordance with the instructions provided in this manual and shall not conform to the European standards and directives listed on page 2 unless these conditions are fulfilled.
The above warranty applies unless other agreements are reached between Marposs and the Customer. 1.5 Requesting technical support and maintenance In case of failures or faults that require the intervention of Marposs personnel contact your closest technical support centre (listed at: http://www.marposs.com/worldwide_addresses.php/eng).
Electric shock hazards may be present when carrying out fault finding routines on live components. FIRE OR EXPLOSION RISK The P1 cannot be used in location with the risk of explosion and/or fire (the P1 is not certified pursuant to directive 94/9/EC ATEX). DANGER OF CRUSHING Proceed with caution when moving or handling the P1.
All the data listed on the plate must always be legible. If a data plate is damaged or even partially illegible due to wear, ask MARPOSS for another one, quoting the data in these instructions or on the original data plate.
1.2.3.2 State of health of the operator/installer The operator assigned to install the P1 must be aware and responsible of the dangers that may be generated during the installation of machining equipment.
Instruction Manual Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) 1.2.4 The operators assigned to assemble and maintenance of the P1 must use the following personal protection equipment: Gauge assembly operator: PROTECTIVE CLOTHING PROTECTIVE FOOTWEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES Gauge/final machinery operating operator: The operator does not require particular PPE, apart from that required in the work environment, to operate the gauge.
The P1 is designed and constructed to interlock with a machine, of which it becomes to all intents and purposes, a sub-assembly. Therefore refer to the final machine that the P1 will be installed in for the operator’s behaviours during all the various operation processes, in particular during production and maintenance.

Marposs, in order to prevent the risks associated with moving loads; • Ensure they are aware of the correct storage procedures for the parts of the P1 in order to prevent damaging important parts, not only in terms of safety but also from an operational point of view;...
Authorised and unauthorised use 2.2.1.1 Intended use The P1 has been designed and built to be installed on automatic machines such as grinders in order to manage the Marposs measurement heads used for in-process part dimension controls. NOTE Any use that differs from the use described above shall be considered unauthorised.
The operators assigned to the transport, storage and installation of the P1 must be provided with and use the PPE indicated in section 2.1.4, as well as the obligatory PPE for the environment that the P1 is used in. Training 1.3.2...
The P1 must be stored in covered premises with limited exposure to dust and humidity. The warehouse flooring must be horizontal and free of irregularities. Do not position other materials, even light items, on top of the P1 package or the P1 itself, in order to avoid damaging it.
1.6.1.1 Type of environment The P1 and the relative electrical components have been designed and constructed to be installed in an industrial plant and to be used only in closed environments where they cannot be subject to atmospheric agents.
The electrical components ARE NOT specifically protected against radiation such as microwaves, ultraviolet rays, lasers, X-rays. If the P1 is exposed to radiation, additional measures must be implemented to prevent to incorrect operation of the components and their early deterioration.
P1 GENERAL EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION 5.1 Equipment configurations The content of this manual concerns all the configurations of P1, therefore only the sections relevant to the specific application must be consulted. The configuration of the P1 electronic amplifier in use is determined based both on code no. (reported on the plate found on the rear panel) and on coding plan.
