1. INTRODUCTION
This manual describes installation and use of the KD-5100, theory of operation, ways to optimize
performance, special handling cautions, functional tests, and guidelines for fixturing and targets,
and calibration procedures.
1-1. Calibration
Though there is a section on calibration, these systems are shipped from the factory calibrated for
a user specified target, sensitivity, and measuring range. We calibrate these systems in a
controlled environment using a precision laser as a primary dimensional standard. Since it is
difficult for users to duplicate our calibration conditions, call us before attempting any
adjustments of your KD-5100. On the other hand, it is equally difficult for Kaman to duplicate
your actual application conditions, so special circumstances may dictate come calibration.
Again, coordinate with a Kaman engineer first.
1-2. Maintainability
The KD-5100 is designed so scheduled maintenance and adjustments are not required. The unit
can be removed and replaced without special tools.
1-3. Environments
The KD-5100 provides specified performance after exposure to all natural and/or induced
environments encountered during manufacture, test, transportation, handling, storage,
installation, and removal operations.
