Note
• Installation, adjustment and level alignment of the instrument are carried out as part of the
instrument installation by a service technician certified by Leica only.
• The level orientation is done using a level and by adjusting the height-adjustable instrument feet
(

Fig. 2- 5 ) .
• Use 4 qualified persons when lifting the instrument. Grab under the frame at all corners and lift
evenly.
Warning
Failure to level the instrument correctly may result in instrument malfunctions. Slides may slide out of
the rack during the necessary transport movements.
• Ensure that there is a vibration-free floor and sufficient clear space (approx. 1.10 m) above the
laboratory bench to allow unobstructed opening of the hood.
• It is the user's responsibility to make sure that a compatible electromagnetic environment is
maintained so that the instrument can work as intended.
• Condensation water may form in the instrument if there is an extreme difference in temperature
between the storage location and the installation site and if air humidity is high at the same time.
A waiting time of at least two hours must be observed each time before switching on. Failure to comply
with this may cause damage to the instrument.
• Stable, exactly horizontal and level laboratory bench at least 1.00 m wide (2.20 m when operating as
a workstation) and 0.80 m deep.
• The counter area must be vibration-free and level.
• Fume hood at a max. 2.0 m distance from the instrument.
• The instrument is suitable for operation in indoor areas only.
• The operating location must be well-ventilated. In addition, an external exhaust air extraction system is
highly recommended.
• A grounded power supply socket must be available at a maximum distance of 3 m.
Warning
• A connection to an external exhaust system, a technical room ventilation system and an integrated
exhaust system with an active carbon filter reduce the concentration of solvent vapor in the room
air. The active carbon filter must be used for connecting to an external exhaust system as well

• The instrument operator bears responsibility for complying with workplace limits and the measures
necessary for this, including documentation.
