4.4 Assembling the handwheel

The handwheel has to be assembled before attempting to use the instrument.
The necessary parts and tools can be found in the toolkit.

4.5 Electrical connections

The instrument MUST be connected to a grounded power socket. Use only the power cable pro-
vided 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
connected to the power supply.
