The feather key (4) is loosely placed in the handwheel shaft (1) and fixed in place with a tie-rap during transport.

•Remove the cable tie. Caution!

Make sure not to lose the feather key!

•Place the handwheel (2) on the handwheel shaft (1) as shown.

•Tighten the screw (3) located in the center hole of the handwheel with an Allen key size 4 (5).

•Remove the cover foil from the self-adhesive cover disk (6) and fix the cover disk on the handwheel.

4.4. Electrical connections

The instrument MUST be connected to a grounded power socket. Use only the power cable provided that matches the power supply (outlets) of the country of use. Do not use an extension cable!

Checking the voltage

The Leica RM2245 can be connected to various electrical power grids (depending on voltage and frequency) and, for this reason, is always delivered with a set of various power cables.

New instruments are factory-set to 230 volts. This is documented by a yellow label (230 VOLT) on the rear of the instrument, which covers the power switch and power socket.

Before connecting the instrument to the power supply, be absolutely certain to check that the voltage selector is set to the voltage in use in your area!

Severe damage can be caused to the in- strument if the voltage selector is set to an incorrect voltage!

Never change the setting of the voltage selector while the instrument is con- nected to the power supply.
