Routine Adjustments
Product Support:
2. Rotate the entire sliding assembly out of the test space. The hinge bracket has
several detent positions that will hold the assembly in place.
3. When you rotate the assembly back into the test space, make sure you return the
knob to a fully horizontal position to lock the hinge bracket to the upright.
To slide the AutoX into and out of the test space:
1. Push the handle to the left to release the sliding assembly (the latch plate pivots
about its center).
2. Pull or push as necessary to move the sliding assembly to the desired latch position.
Routine Adjustments
Setting the Default Opening of the Wide Arms
If your system has wide arms installed (see
) you may need to
adjust the default opening to accommodate larger specimens. When first installed, the
arms are set to a 50mm opening.
To change the default to the maximum 100mm opening:
1. Loosen the screws at the pivot point of the each arm (see
)
and move the arm to its maximum position.
2. Retighten the screw.
Caution
Always set the default opening to either the maximum (100mm) or minimum (50mm)
opening. You cannot accurately set each arm to the same point at any interim
distance.
Do not attempt to set each arm at any distance other than the maximum or minimum. If
you try to set the arms at some intermediate distance, errors will result as you cannot
guarantee that each arm is set to the same position.
The mounting assembly for 3500KPX frames consists only of the sliding assembly; it
does not have an upright or hinge bracket.
