- Clean the air bearing area of the granite surface plate with surface plate cleaner if required. Use a clean paper towel and ensure the bearing area is clean and dry.
- Turn ON the wall mounted compressed air (CMM AIR) valve.
- Turn ON the rotary isolator labelled CMM MACHINE POWER located on back of the black control cabinet.
- Turn ON the controller PC and log in.
- On the PC, open CMM Manager from the desktop.
The software may ask for a username and company, which should be prepopulated.
