Removing Door Transit
Supports
Thermo Fisher Scientific
Retain the four plinth bolts for future use. Use a fork lift of
suitable capacity to lift the SAM12 off the wooden base and
finally position it.
Ideally the SAM12 should be mounted on a raised "plinth"
(base) in order that the door and cubicle are at optimum
operating height for users and the LCD display at the optimum
viewing angle.
Any such plinth must be flat, suitably robust, mechanically
sound, stable and fixed to the floor. The SAM12 should be
fixed to the plinth.
A SAM12 mounting plinth is manufactured – associated
equipment order code AE0181B. When using this plinth, the
SAM12 should be secured to it using the four set of M10 fixing
bolts previously removed from the wooden transit base. The
mounting plinth (base) should in turn be secured to the floor
using the four 12mm diameter mounting holes with suitable
fixings. Plinth details are shown on drawing B91208.
Once the SAM12 is correctly positioned, install the optional
plastic location tray within the measurement cubicle.
Only remove the door transit supports when the SAM12 is
physically installed – to avoid fork lift shock damage.
The SAM12 is shipped with a "Transit Support" located on the
underside of each door. The Transit Supports are bolted
through the main frame and door frame, to support the door and
protect the hinges and latching/locking mechanism from
physical damage due to rough transit handling.
Do not attempt to open the door(s) until the Transit
Support(s) have been removed.
The Transit Support is secured to the main frame with four M6
Hex head bolts to the latch end of the door frame with one
further M6 Hex head bolt on the underside of the door frame at
the latch end.
Remove all five fixings before opening the door. Check that
the top of the latch cut-out in the doors clears the top of the
aluminium catch block by at least 2mm. If this clearance is less
than 2mm, transit damage is likely - do not use the SAM12
before contacting Thermo Fisher Scientific or your local agent
for further advice. See
Adjustment (page 11-10)
The Door Transit Supports are "unique" to each door (they
bear the SAM12 Serial No. and "F" for the front door,
where applicable) and so should be retained for future use
