3.4 Mounting of the Stylus
CAUTION
Damage of the measuring mechanism
• TC60: When mounting the stylus into the probe, it is
absolutely necessary to lock the probe with the mounting
tool B to avoid torsion of the measuring mechanism.
• TC63-30 / TC76:
When mounting the stylus into the probe, it is absolutely
necessary to use the interlocking disk (A) (backlash-free).
Pls. take care of the orientation of the interlocking disk (A)
(top side = top)
• Calibrate probe after mounting of stylus!
• Damaged styli are not reusable!

4. Maintenance
• The probe needs minimum
maintenance only
• Keep the glass ring clean
• Check bellows for damages
4.1 Cleaning of the transparent ring
Please do always use mild detergents (e.g. neutral soap
solution or diluted washing-up liquid) for cleaning of the
transparent ring. Please do always use a soft, clean cloth to
clean.
CAUTION
Damage of the transparent ring
Please, do not use any detergents containing acetone,
alcohol, cleaning benzine or solvent! They can damage the
transparent ring.
Please, do not use any detergents containing abrasive
substances (e.g. scouring powder or cleansing milk. They can
damage the transparent ring!

4.2 Exchange of External Bellows
CAUTION
It is not allowed to exchange the internal bellows!
In case that it should be damaged, please send probe for
repair.
Damage of the measuring system
The measuring system is not allowed to be twisted!
TC76-LF (low force):
The bellows is allowed to be exchanged by Blum-Novotest
only!
1. Clean probe and remove stylus if necessary (chap.3.4), while using the
interlocking disk (A) resp. mounting tool (B).
2. Remove front ring (16) with mounting tool (B).
3. Remove external bellows carefully (13), without twisting the measuring
mechanism (10).
4. Grease new bellows (13) at the contact surface to the groove slightly
(grease: ISOFLEX TOPAS NB 52 or STABURAGS NBU30).
5. Install new bellows (13), without twisting the measuring mechanism.
The bellows must click to the groove on the measuring system.
Please take care of plane supporting surface of the bellows.
6. Install front ring (mounting tool (B)).
7. Mount stylus while using the interlocking disk (A) resp. mounting tool (B).
8. Carry out calibration cycle.
