1. Introduction Thank you for purchasing the halcyonics_workstation_i4 system. By selecting this workstation, you have acquired top-of-the-line active vibration isolation equipment. We feel confident that our system will meet your expectations and provide the best possible performance for your specific application. Please read the operating instructions carefully to set up the WS_i4 system correctly.
Do not operate the system in a potentially explosive or humid environment. Do not switch on the system if there is any visible damage or if you think it might be damaged. In this case, turn off the power immediately and notify our distributor in your area or contact Accurion’s headquarters in Germany directly.
5. Getting Started and Operation Setting Up the Equipment To obtain best performance from the halcyonics_workstation_i4, set it up on a stable, rigid flat surface. For optimal operating results, the planarity of the support surface should be 0.5 mm. Carpet or other soft floor coverings should be removed.

Automatic Load Adjustment and Transport Locking Mode The top plate of the active isolated surface is supported by four steel springs. These springs carry the load placed on top. For the initial installation or after load changes these springs have to be pre-stressed according to the weight of the setup.
The system may only be transported or moved in the transport-locked condition! To change the different modes, it is necessary to press and hold the button for some seconds. Using Active Vibration Isolation Once you have started up the system, press the “isolation” button on the front panel to enable the active vibration isolation.
6. Appendix Care and Maintenance The halcyonics_workstation_i4 system has been carefully designed and manufactured by Accurion. To maintain this equipment and the validity of your warranty, you should observe the following recommen- dations: Store the system in a dry place. Never expose it to rain, liquids or dampness. The minerals con tained in these liquids may lead to short-circuits or corrosion of the electronic circuits.
