to avoid personal and material damage. The meaning of the symbols related to the safety instructions is described in the table below:
NOTICE NOTICE indicates important information that, if not observed, could lead to property damage/malfunctions. INFORMATION INFORMATION indicates important information or helpful advices for the work with the described device. 1.1.2 Safety Instructions NOTICE Risk of material damage!
Manual or automatic positioning of the touch probe must be protected, in a way that the machine axis stops feeding if the probe is triggered outside the measuring process!
NOTICE Risk of material damage!
Feedhold or spindle-stop resulting from a trigger or ready signal from a touch probe should only happen if the probe is actually in the spindle. This safety logic prevents the spindle or feed being stopped during normal milling operations if a signal from a measuring probe is triggered for one of the following reasons:
Battery replacement and subsequent functional check of the touch probe by manually switching it on. Another machine with a radio-wave touch probe installed is started up and this touch probe transmits on the same channel as a touch probe previously installed. Risk of material damage caused by third-party parts!
Only use the original spare parts listed in these operating instructions to perform maintenance and repairs. NOTICE The information given in this manual can be changed by the manufacturer at any time. Thus the user is responsible to regularly inquire about updated information. INFORMATION 1.1.3 Validity These operating instructions are valid for the hardware available at the date of creation of these operating instructions. The manufacturer reserves the right to make technical modifications. 5 Description 1.2 Purpose TP-R-400 The radio-wave touch probe TP-R-400 is used for workpiece measurement, and automatic determination and compensation of deviating angular positions of workpieces. Moreover, it is used for setting zero points inside the machine tool. The radio-wave touch probe TP-R-400 is capable of measuring workpiece geometries, like edges, bores, pins, slots, webs, angles, corners and circular arches. It is also suitable for measuring complex geometries, like three-
dimensional surfaces and for measurements involving picot axes. Radio-wave transmission ensures that the measuring signals from the touch probe can be transmitted to the receiver over large distances. 6 TP-R-400 Description 1.3 Declarations and Approvals 1.3.1 Europe and UK (EU and UKCA Declaration of Conformity) The EU and UKCA Declarations of Conformity can be found at the end of these operating instructions. If required, a copy of the signed original declarations of conformity may be requested from the address given on the back cover. 1.3.2 USA (FCC Declaration) This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the device is operated in a commercial environment. This device generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this device in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. The radiated output power of the device is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by m&h Inprocess Messtechnik GmbH may void the FCC/RSS authorization to operate this equipment. FCC ID: MFFR400 1.3.3 Canada (IC /RSS Declaration) English:
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. IC: 5782A-R400 Franais:

Then press the button twice to confirm menu call-up. The display then shows some brief operating information and after approx. 5 s automatically opens the main menu, which consists of 5 setting levels (submenus). The following table lists these submenus with a brief description of each function. Setting level/Submenu Description Setup Info Set PIN Save/Load Manual Mode The "Setup" submenu contains all the necessary settings for setting up the touch probe and for pairing with a corresponding radio-wave receiver. The following settings can be made here individually:

Define whether the device is to be used as a touch probe or as a tool setter Define the receiver channel to be used for transmission
(only when using RWR95.51) Define the activation codes for the touch probe Define the interference safety level Enter the serial number of the radio-wave receiver to be paired The "Info" submenu is used to display all information on the settings, power and firmware version of the touch probe. The following information can be called up here individually:
Settings:

Display the settings defined in the "Setup" menu Display the firmware version of the touch probe Display the strength of the received radio-wave signal from the receiver Display regional radio license information The "Set PIN" submenu is used to set, change and delete a lock password
(PIN). This function can be used to protect the touch probe settings against unwanted access. Legal Info:
The "Save/Load" submenu can be used to save the current touch probe settings and to load them at a later time. For this purpose, 3 internal memory slots are available in the touch probe memory. Loading previously saved settings will overwrite the currently active settings. The "Manual Mode" submenu can be used to activate a manual touch probe mode in which the touch probe responds to stylus deflections by blinking orange with the integrated LED ring. In this mode, the connection to the receiver is disconnected and no status signals are transmitted to the control. 2.2.4.2 Operating the menu To start the touch probe menu, it must be in"Sleep Mode" (e.g. Immediately after inserting the battery). The menu is operated via only one button on the back of the touch probe (see also Fig. 12). The following operating options are available:
Press and hold the button (approx. 2 s):

The touch probe needs to be urgently recalibrated to avoid measuring deviations after the interference safety setting (parameter "Safety") has been changed!
NOTICE 26 TP-R-400 Operation 3. Set the parameters "Mode", "Channel", "Activation Code", "Safety" and "Receiver Serial" one after the other. All available parameters must be set. Scrolling between the parameters happens automatically. Briefly press the button on the touch probe to scroll through the different setting options for each parameter. When the desired setting is displayed, it can be selected/set by pressing the button twice. 4. After entering the serial number of the receiver to be paired ("Receiver Serial"), confirm the entry by pressing the "Confirm" setting twice. The pairing process starts automatically via radio-wave. The recipient must be in "Standby" operation, i.e., the power supply to the receiver must be present, but no activation signal from the control and no "Ready"
signal from a previously paired measuring system must be transmitted to the receiver. When pairing is successful, the symbol (
