Stable, vibration-free laboratory bench with horizontal and even stage plate; practically vibration-free floor.

No other instruments nearby which might cause vibrations.

Room temperature permanently between +10°C and +35°C.

Obstruction-free access to the handwheel.

Never operate the instrument in rooms with explosion hazard.

Setting up the instrument

Do not transport the instrument by holding it on the handwheel shaft, the object head or the cover!

By holding the instrument (5) at the front by the baseplate, and at the rear by the recessed grip (Fig. 8), lift it out of the molded cushion (6) of the packaging and place it on a stable laboratory table.

The two sliding elements (9) located on the rear of the base plate make it easier to move the instrument on the table.

To move the instrument, hold it by the front of the base plate, lift it up gently and slide it on its slides.
