Foreword
Foreword
ROTALIGN Ultra is a new generation portable laser alignment
system, used in the alignment of shafts, turbine components, bores,
and the measurement of straightness and flatness of different types
of surfaces. This expandable system is both a welcome replacement
for the proven ROTALIGN PRO system and an addition to the
existing high-end range of alignment products from PRFTECHNIK.
As with all PRFTECHNIK instruments, ROTALIGN Ultra is user
friendly. It has an intuitive user interface. It uses easy-to-follow icons
and comprehensive on-screen menus and hint texts, that even firsttime users are able to operate it without difficulty.
ROTALIGN Ultra is built to rugged industrial standards of shock and
water resistance. It contains a complete computer with a colour 480 x
320 VGA display and oval-shaped function keys. The computer
uses the well known PRFTECHNIK tradition of obtaining alignment
results with only three function key presses.
The system also uses the existing ROTALIGN laser, receiver and
brackets, making it an attractive upgrade for existing users of
ROTALIGN and ROTALIGN PRO.
This handbook sets out to help the instrument user work through the
instrument with the required ease. It is meant to be a quick learning
tool that hopefully should make compelling reading.
We welcome feedback so if anything is unclear, please let us know.

Safety notes
ROTALIGN Ultra is to be used in industrial environments only for
alignment of turbine components, shafts, bores, measurement of
straightness and flatness of different surfaces. Care must be taken to
ensure that the instrument is not subjected to mechanical knocks.
ROTALIGN Ultra must be operated only by properly trained personnel. No liability will be assumed when components or operating
procedures as described in this manual are altered without permission of the manufacturer.
Safety symbols
The following symbols are used in this manual in order to draw the
reader's attention to especially important text, such as that regarding
possible sources of danger or useful operating tips.
Note
CAUTION
WARNING
Laser safety
The ROTALIGN Ultra system uses a class II laser beam. Class II lasers
comply with the requirements outlined in the USA's FDA specification
21 CFR Ch. 1, Parts 1040.10 and 1040.11 as well as the ANSI
standard. It also fulfills British standard BS 4803 (Part 1 to Part 3)
and European Industrial Standard IEC 825. The class II laser operates
1-7
Introducing ROTALIGN Ultra
Do not look directly into the laser beam at any time. (Since FDA
specifications allow maximum exposure of 0.25 seconds, the
natural blink reaction of the human eye is normally sufficient to
avert any danger, provided that no optical instruments other
than ordinary eye glasses/contact lenses are used.)
Do not insert any optical devices into the beam path.

Introducing ROTALIGN Ultra
The navigation keys are used to navigate through the menu items.
The 'Enter' key in the center is used to access any selected item.
The 'On/Off/Enter' key is used to perform the dual function of
switching on ROTALIGN Ultra, and accessing any selected item. To
switch on, press and hold the 'On/Off/Enter' key for approximately 5
seconds.
The 'Up' key is used as a back/return key, taking user to previously
selected function.
The 'Clr' (Clear) key is used to delete information entered inadvertently.
The 'Menu' key is used to call menu options related to the selected
display screen.
The data entry keys are used to enter relavant data.
ROTALIGN Ultra possesses 3 function keys.
The 'Dimension' key is used to access machine set-up to define and
enter machine dimensions.
The 'Measurement' key is used to enter the alignment measurement
mode.
The 'Result' key is used to call alignment results into the display.
Power supply
ROTALIGN Ultra is powered using a 7.2 V 6.0 Ah Lithium-ion
rechargeable battery ALI 4.603, which is to be charged only using the
battery charger SYS 3.651. This can be done with the battery inside
the computer. The computer may continue to be used if the battery is
charged inside it.
Alternatively, use 6 standard 'C' size batteries contained in the battery
compartment ALI 4.605.

Replacing batteries
The rechargeable battery ALI 4.603 and the battery compartment ALI
4.605 have identical shapes and are therefore replaceable.
If batteries require removal, turn over the computer taking care not
to damage the display and the hard keys. Undo the two screws by
turning them at least half a turn. With the screws loosened, lift and
pull the rechargeable battery or the battery compartment (depending
on power supply source) out. The reverse procedure is used to mount
back the rechargeable battery or the battery compartment.

Laser battery
The laser is powered by a single 9 V battery (type IEC 6LR61) which,
depending on battery make and operating patterns, provides a
typical operating duration of 80 hours. Lithium batteries of this size
can also be used, increasing operation up to 150 hours. NiCad
rechargeables may also be used.

Receiver
ALI 3.600
The receiver contains two position detectors, located one behind the
other, which measure the exact position of the laser beam as the
shafts are rotated. The detectors are biaxial, analog, photoelectric
semiconductor position detectors with a resolution of better than
1 m / 1/1000 mm (or 0.04 mils) and an area of 18 mm x 18 mm /
0.7" x 0.7". The receiver also contains an electronic inclinometer
with resolution better than 2 for shaft rotation measurements.

Cable connection
Insert the angled plug into the receiver socket as shown; note the
keyway indicating proper plug orientation. Screw down the cable
fitting to tighten the connection. The angled plug should be left
permanently connected to the receiver, even when storing the system
in its case, as this will help avoid damage to cable pins, plugs and
sockets.

Never turn the plug itself, as that can damage the cable pins!
