4.2 Windshield
The right and left doors can be opened/closed freely when the upper and lower knobs on both
sides of the windshield are properly combined. There are two types of knobs: a knob (upper)
fixed to the door and a knob (lower) that simultaneously slides right and left. When the knob
(lower) is raised or lowered so as to be locked into or unlocked from the knob (upper), the
windshield can manipulated freely, depending on whether the user is right-handed or left-handed,
how the sample is to be loaded on the measurement pan, etc.
Moreover, the right and left doors can easily be removed for cleaning of the interior of the
measurement chamber.

knob (upper). On the other side, push down the knob (lower) to free it. In this way, the windshield
