The life of your handler is greatly enhanced by keeping it as clean as possible. This Model 3000B handler should be placed as close as possible to your tester test socket, since cable length from the contactor to the tester is critical in most applications. Please refer to Chapter 3 Interface Information, for further details.
Tilt Mechanism - Table Top Mounting A tilt mechanism is built into your Model 3000B table top handler. The slide angle may be adjusted from 12° to 60° from vertical. The tilt mechanism is easily removed as needed for large test head interfaces.
3. If your application requires compressed air, bolt the black Wilkerson air regulator, part #NCOD440 onto the right side of the 3000B frame, using two #10-32 x 5/8" bolts. With the orange switch in the closed position, attach the nozzle of your clean, dry, compressed air supply to the air regulator.
