           installation
           on tripod
           PMM TR-02

It  is  recommended  to  make  use  of  the  optional  tripod  PMM  TR-02  to
position  the  PMM  EP-600/601/602/603/604  as  required  by  the  reference
standards.  Maintaining  the  same  hardware  configuration  contributes  to
improve the measurement repeatability (see chapter “Accessories”).
Fix  the  EP-600/601/602/603/604  conical  holder  to  the  tripod  TR-02A  by
means of the screw at the top or by means of the swivel PMM 8053-SN.
