1.4 Installation

Open the shipping box and remove all packing material including the Sty- rofoam pieces.

Take the height adjustment device out of the box.

At the place of installation, place the U-frame on the floor with the open side facing yourself. Adjust the U-frame parallel to the wall, maintaining a distance of approx. 10 cm between wall and U-frame.

Push the (ab) button to lower the height adjustment device to the lowest possible position.

When placing the instrument onto the U-frame, make sure the power cord does not get caught and thus crushed between U-frame and cry- ostat housing.

In order to be able to move the instrument, use a fork wrench and unscrew the rollers on which the Leica CM3050 S moves by about 2 cm.

Roll the cryostat onto the U-frame as far as it will go. The rear of the cryostat housing has to fit closely to the rear bar of the U-frame.

Roll the cryostat onto the U-frame as far as it will go. The rear of the cryostat housing has to fit closely to the rear bar of the U-frame.

Plug the height adjustment device into the mains socket. The unit is now ready for use.
