Chapter 3 Mechanical Installation

3.1 Unpacking

Retain the packing in which the unit was shipped, for use in future
Once removed from its packaging, the stage is easily damaged by
mishandling. The unit should only be handled by its base, not by the motor or

3.2 Environmental Conditions

Operation outside the following environmental limits may adversely
Location
Maximum altitude
Temperature range
Maximum Humidity
To ensure reliable operation the unit should not be exposed to corrosive agents or
excessive moisture, heat or dust.
If the unit has been stored at a low temperature or in an environment of high humidity,
it must be allowed to reach ambient conditions before being powered up.
The unit must not be used in an explosive environment.

3.3 Mounting

The stage can be mounted to a standard 1/2" post, via the M4 (8-32) threaded holes
in the side faces (as shown in Fig. 3.1.). For horizontal use, the stage can be fixed to
the worksurface by using adapter plate K10CR1A1 (see Fig. 3.2). The combined deck
height is 26 mm (1.02").
The rotating platform features several options for mounting accessories. The central
aperture has a standard SM1 internal thread, for compatibility with a range of optics.
Accessories can also be fixed using the series of threaded mounting holes (see Fig. 3.3).
Standard 'tongue and groove' accessories can be mounted using the K10CR1A2(/M)
grooved adapter plate (see Fig. 3.2), which raises the deck height to 30 mm (1.18").
