2.1 Location requirements
The location of the Osmo1 must meet the following
space and electrical requirements.

15" D x 14" W x 10" H
(38 cm D x 36 cm W x 25 cm H)
•
Including Micro-Sample Test Kit:
15" D x 14" W x 15" H
(38 cm D x 36 cm W x 38 cm H)
Recommended clearance
Allow 6 inches (15 cm) of clear space on each side of the
instrument.
Do not block the exhaust fan airflow on the back panel
or underneath the instrument.
Electrical requirements
Your instrument must be located within five
feet of a properly grounded, three-prong
electrical outlet capable of continuously
supplying 0.5 amperes at 100–240 VAC
(50–60 Hz).
If the instrument is not grounded properly, its
operation may be impaired and a safety hazard
may exist. Verify that the outlet is appropriate
before operating the instrument.
Do not disable the grounding plug.
2.2 Loading the printer paper
To prepare the instrument for use, install one roll of
paper as directed below.
1.
Lift to open the printer door located on the top right
of the instrument.
2.
Unroll 4-6” (15-20 cm) of thermal paper from the roll.
3.
Hold the roll so that the paper feeds upwards from
the bottom of the roll towards the front of the
instrument, and place the roll into the printer
(Figure 5).
