Weight Arm
1. On the left side of the IsoMet
®
1000 is the Weight Arm. Lift the Weight Arm to the
locked position.
2. Loosen the thumbscrew on the Load Weight.
3. Slide the weight to the zero setting.
4. Select the proper chuck for the application and clamp the sample in the chuck.
•
To clamp odd or irregular samples, it may be necessary to sandwich metal strips
between the sample and the chuck.
5. Attach the sample loaded chuck to the Sample Arm with the supplied screw (a socket
head cap).
6. Once the chuck is secure, rotate the Sample Positioning knob to move the Sample
Arm to the far left.
7. Lower the Weight Arm so it lays horizontal.
8. Slide the counter-balance weight up or down until a balance is achieved.
9. Tighten the thumbscrew on the counter-balance weight to secure the weight.
•
If a large chuck or a heavy sample is used, a balance may not be achieved.
•
If the sample is load sensitive, deduct the unbalanced weight from the Load
Weight setting.
10. Set the Load Weight to the desired load as marked on the Weight Arm.
•
The Weight Arm is calibrated from zero (0) to 500 grams. 300 grams of
additional weight can be added with the optional weight kit.
•
Lighter weights are recommended since heavier loads can cause greater surface
damage to the sample.
