Setting up the instrument
Remaining horizontal feed indication
A visual and audible remaining horizontal feed indica-
tion feature adverts the user during trimming and sec-
tioning that a horizontal feed range of about 1 mm re-
mains before the front limit stop will be reached.
STOP
(yellow) will be illuminated when reaching the
remaining horizontal feed. In addition, at the same time
a beep is emitted, which lasts about 2 seconds.
At that point, there is a remaining distance of 1 mm to
the front limit stop. Within this remaining feed, a speci-
men advance via the coarse feed buttons cannot be
activated any longer.
You can continue to section.
STOP
(yellow) is illuminated.
When the front limit is reached the specimen will not
advance any further, i.e. sectioning automatically stops.
To continue sectioning, move the specimen back
to the rear limit stop (HOME) using the appropriate
coarse feed button.
If the instrument is switched on with the
specimen being located at a position within
the remaining feed range, after visualizing the
software version, an additional beep will
sound.
To start working, the specimen has to be
moved backwards by a certain distance by
means of the coarse feed buttons.
Within the remaining horizontal feed range,
the TRIM-STEP function is inoperational. To
move the specimen backwards via the coarse
feed buttons, if necessary, press TRIM to
switch from TRIM/µm to the sectioning mode
SECT/µm.
