Introduction vii
General Maintenance
Disconnect the QC5200 from the power source and seek the assistance of a qualified service
technician if:
• The power cord is frayed or damaged or the power plug is damaged
• Liquid is spilled or splashed onto the enclosure
• The QC5200 has been dropped or the exterior enclosure has been damaged
• The QC5200 exhibits degraded performance or indicates a need for service some other way
Cleaning
Use only a cloth dampened with water and a mild detergent for cleaning the exterior surfaces and display
screens. Never use abrasive cleaners, and never use strong detergents or solvents. Only dampen the cloth,
do not use a cleaning cloth that is dripping wet.
Display Resolution and Units of Measure
Display resolutions in this guide are examples. User display resolutions are likely to vary according to the
specific application. Metric units of measure are used in examples.
Accuracy & Precision
Measurement accuracy is determined by many factors, such as the resolution of the encoders connected to
axis inputs. Generally, the display resolution of the QC5200 can exceed encoder resolutions. Setting the
display resolution to exceed the encoder resolution does not increase measurement accuracy.
