Positioning the Instrument

The instrument is designed for use under laboratory conditions. It can be used in
standalone operation on a bench top or can be installed in a rack.
For standalone operation, place the instrument on a horizontal bench with even,
flat surface. The instrument can be used in horizontal position, or with the support
feet on the bottom extended.
The instrument can be installed in a 19" rack mount using a rack mount kit. The
order number of the rack mount kit is given in the data sheet. The installation
instructions are part of the rack mount kit.
Risk of injury if feet are folded out
The feet can fold in if they are not folded out completely or if the instrument
is shifted. This can cause damage or injury.
● Fold the feet completely in or out to ensure stability of the instrument.
Never shift the instrument when the feet are folded out.
● When the feet are folded out, do not work under the instrument or place
anything underneath.
● The feet can break if they are overloaded. The overall load on the fol-
ded-out feet must not exceed 200 N.
