Page 11: Transport / Storage
Laser C-LAS is delivered in a special transport packing, which ideally protects the device of moisture, temperature changes and vibrations. On-site the C-LAS should only be moved on the designated C-LAS cart which is damped in particular. While the C-LAS is not used it should always be covered by the supplied dust cover sleeve. -
Page 12: Installation
Prior to delivery, the user needs to make sure a suitable location has been prepared for installation. The laser device should be installed at an easily accessible place. The C-LAS Laser should be installed at an accessible place - neither too close to a heater nor next to a sink. The laser should not be operated close to a heater as its air-cooling system works best when the ambient temperature does not exceed 21°C. -
Page 13: Dispatching And Unpacking The Device
