7 Troubleshooting and Maintenance

Note:

The base unit has four carrying handles for transporting. Two or four

people can carry the base unit using these carrying handles. To
determine the appropriate number of transporter people, observe the

laws of your country regarding load carrying capacity limitations. You
can find the weight data of the base unit in chapter

8 Technical Data

To transport Pannoramic® 250 FLASH III do the following:

1. Switch power supply off (see chapter

1.1.4 Main parts of the Base Unit

) and detach all

other cables.

2. Pull carrying handles out

(1)

until mechanical stop position

(A)

3. Turn carrying handles by 90°

(B)

towards the base unit to secure them.

4. Now you can transport Pannoramic® 250 FLASH III with the help of another person.

5. After finishing transportation, push carrying handles back into normal position
