Fitting or removing the key into or from the clamp
WARNINGS
To read the key and use the machine properly remember that:
•
To avoid condensations on the devices lenses, it is recommended to not move the
device from a cold environment to a warm environment. If this is the case, it is
recommended to wait a few hours before use of the device.
•
The key must be carefully cleaned. Any residue on the profile, such as grease,
deposits, filaments, dust or whatever, may cause errors (use the brush provided).
•
The key must be of the required type (see ch.3).
•
The key must not be all black (plastic or surface treatment).
•
For bit, double bit and pump keys the light shade adapter must be fitted.
•
For bit keys with shoulder stop use the special adapter for reading cuts and do not
use the light shield adapter, as profile reading and searching for this type of key are
not managed.
•
The key must be intact. If it is broken it must have a regular profile.
•
The key must not be bent or twisted and the part to be read must be free of dents
(especially bumps in the material on the tip, or burrs).
•
The key must be fitted into the centre of the clamp and not sloping (fig. 17). Make
sure it is not facing too far to the right or left (fig. 18).
•
If the key is one of a bunch, it can still be read, as long as the clamp functions and
the key position are not affected.
•
Only keys can be fitted into the Optika device clamp (for maximum dimensions see
fig. 5, page 6).
Fitting
Note: make sure the clamp (which can be opened and rotated) is well centred and not turned fully
left or right (fig. 12).
