Parallelism
10
The parallelism adjustment affects the maximum height and the counterbalance and must
be performed prior to performing any other adjustments of the arm system.
•
Remove all arm and joint covers so that the adjustment rod is visible (Fig. 1).
•
The adjustment rod must always be parallel with the arm. This can be checked by
measuring at two points as far away from each other as possible but with the same
diameter of the pull rod (Fig. 1). The parallelism must not deviate by more than
0.6 mm. The measurements must be performed with the arm in the uppermost and
lowermost positions. If not parallel, loosen the locking nuts and adjust by turning the pull
rod.
High Voltage!
Life-threatening hazard of electric shock. Never work with the
system open if the batteries are still connected and the capacitor
is charged. If the batteries are connected, the complete system is
powered on!
The capacitors in M10 and M11 may still be charged even if the
system is switched OFF and the mains cable is
disconnected. The capacitors in M10 and M11 must be consid-
ered charged until the protective measures listed in this section
have been performed.

Equipment required:
Slide caliper and a rope. If the parallelism must be adjusted, a
ceiling support is required.
