when transporting the SAM12 over any distance or in
situations when rough handling is possible.
The SAM12 is shipped with the door handle(s) removed and
packed inside the measurement cubicle.
Remove the protective packaging and fix the handle(s) securely
to the front left-hand ledge of the door frame using the M6 and
M8 hex head bolts and washers supplied – these are shipped
screwed into the door frame(s).
Note that the Door Handle (no longer reversible) is
deliberately oriented biased “inboard” of the door, such
that the main tube is in direct vertical alignment with the
Door Latch Lever.
(This limits the travel of the latch lever
and prevents excessive force damaging the latch. It also makes
single hand door operation equally easy for Left-handed and
Right-handed users). Previously, incorrect installation resulted
in excessive latch wear and premature failure.
Check for smooth operation of the door latching/de-latching
mechanism. If any adjustment is necessary, refer to
Replacement and Adjustment of (Chrome) Lever Catch (page
11-10)
– after the Electrical Installation (page 4-5) is complete.
NOTE: The doors are a fabricated and welded
construction which will not be manufactured exactly
“square”. Some “out of square” deflection will also result
from loading the lead, particularly 2" (50mm) models.
Additionally, uneven compression of the rubber seal may
make the door appear “out of square” or to “sag”. Any
manufacturing tolerances are allowed for and compensated
by the hinge mounting and door catch adjustment during
final door Mounting/Assembly.
In-built door catch adjustment of ¼" (6mm) exists to
accommodate any movement or wear that may take place -
see
Door Catch and Lock Replacement and Adjustment (page
11-10)
. Therefore, a door which is, or appears to be, “out of
square” is in no way an indication of manufacturing defect
or mechanical failure. If a door does not operate correctly
consult
Door Catch and Lock Replacement and Adjustment
(page 11-10)
.
The mechanical installation is now complete.
After approximately the first two weeks or 2,000 operations
check the door hinge and locking mechanisms for initial
Fitting the Door Handle(s)
