Positioning the Instrument
The instrument is designed for use under laboratory conditions. It can be used in
standalone operation on a bench top or can be installed in a rack.

Bench Top Operation
For standalone operation, place the instrument on a horizontal bench with even,
flat surface. The instrument can be used in horizontal position, standing on its
feet, or with the support feet on the bottom extended.

Fold the feet completely in or out to ensure stability of the instrument.
Never shift the instrument when the feet are folded out.
●
When the feet are folded out, do not work under the instrument or place
anything underneath.

The feet can break if they are overloaded. The overall load on the fol-
ded-out feet must not exceed 200
