[Lens exchanging procedure]1) Turn the lens mounted to the RANGE7 counterclockwise by holding the

lens barrel. After turning the lens to the hit position, pull it out straight

slowly.

2) Align the side pin of the lens with the red mark on the RANGE7, and

insert the lens straightly according to the inside guide.

3) After inserting the lens to the hit position, turn it clockwise by holding

the lens barrel to tighten it securely.

NOTE

• Remove the lens by reversing the attaching procedure.

• Be careful to avoid touching the lens surface when changing lenses.

Memo

• Grease for lubrication has been applied to the screw for installation

of the lens. When the RANGE7 is purchased, the screw of the

lens not attached to the RANGE7 is wrapped with a transparent

sheet for grease protection. Remove this sheet before use.

• When removing the lens, attach the mount and lens caps.

Changing of Lens

Set the RANGE7 at a position proper to the measuring target, and exchange the lens for an optimum one, depending on the measuring

target size and the distance between the RANGE7 and the measuring target.

NOTE When changing the lens, confirm that the lens number is the same number as the RANGE7 body.

Memo RANGE7 needs to warm up for about 20 minutes after being switched ON. It is always possible to change lenses, but if the lens temperature is different from the main body temperature, it may result in inaccurate measurements.

To avoid this problem, change lenses before switching the RANGE7 ON, and warm-up the RANGE7 with the lens to be used

attached. If the lens must be changed after the RANGE7 has already warmed up, wait at least 5 minutes for the lens temperature

to adjust to the temperature of the RANGE7.

n About Field Calibration

Calibration sheet

The figure below shows an example of setting up the RANGE7 for calibration using the Calibration Set.

Calibration should be performed in the following cases:

• Before using for the first time after purchase.

• If the RANGE7 has not been used for a few days.

• If the ambient temperature during storage or use is drastically different from the ambient temperature at the time calibration was last

performed.

• If the RANGE7 may have been subject to vibrations during shipping or movement.

• To achieve higher measurement accuracy.

NOTE

• The Calibration Chart has been calibrated using the RANGE7 unit with which it was shipped. When performing calibration, be sure to

use the Calibration Chart with the same number as the RANGE7 body.

• Before performing calibration, confirm that the lens number is the same number as the RANGE7 body.

Enough space is needed to spread out the sheet. 1280×430 mm

Set the calibration chart in the position marked on the sheet for the lens being used.

Do not touch the front side of the chart with bare hands. If dirty, wipe the chart clean with a dry soft piece of cloth.

Scanning is done seven times for calibration. Position and angle the calibration chart as indicated in the Calibration Wizard.

Calibration is easy to understand and perform with the Calibration Wizard. For details, see “5-1. Calibration” on p. 68 of the Reference Manual.
