Physical Location
You can place your TDC5 on a normal workbench surface. You will need access to the rear of the instrument
because power connections are made from the rear. The TDC5 is not restricted to operation in a flat position.
You can operate it on its side, or even upside-down.
Warning:
The protective grounding can be rendered ineffective if the TDC5 is damaged
in shipment. Do not operate damaged apparatus until its safety has been verified by a qualified service
technician. Tag a damaged TDC5 to indicate that it could be a safety hazard.
