1.Electrohydraulic height adjustment

An electrohydraulic lifting device for individual working height adjustment is available as an optional accessory for the CM3050 S cryostat series.

1.3 Safety instructions

Prior to operating the height adjustment device, make sure to read the present instruction manu- al. Pay special attention to the following safety instructions:

1.1 Designated use

The electrohydraulic height adjustment device has been designed exclusively for adjustment of the instrument working level to the individual height of the user.

It has been designed for use with the Leica cry- ostat series CM3050 S only and may under no circumstances be used to lift other instruments or persons.

Damage resulting from improper use of the product and/or faulty operation invalidates the warranty.

Leica will not assume liability for any such dam- age.

1.2 Standard delivery

Electrohydraulic height adjustment device for cryostat series CM3050 S, complete outfit, con- sisting of a U-shaped frame on four height-ad- justable feet and a two-key control unit.

The height adjustment device is available in 2 voltages:

1.230 – 240 V / 50 Hz – order no. 0443 26147

2.230 – 240 V / 50 Hz – order no. 0443 26147

Prior to connecting the height ad- justment device to mains, check to make sure that the nominal voltage and frequency indications on the device name plate correspond to the actual mains voltage in your lab!

Do not move the height adjustment device with the Leica CM3050 S in- stalled on the frame. If the place of installation needs to be changed, first take the Leica CM3050 S down from the height adjustment device and then move both devices sepa- rately.

Never place your feet underneath the U-frame when lowering the height adjustment device! Risk of injury!

Only authorized Leica technical ser- vice engineers may carry out re- pairs on both the Leica CM3050 S and the height adjustment device. This applies especially to all work carried out on the hydraulic system of the height adjustment device.
