Handwheel Brakes

Before placing or removing a specimen on the specimen head, or adjusting the orientation, always ensure
that the mechanical handwheel brake is engaged. The cryostat is equipped with an electronic and a
mechanical handwheel brake to prevent unintended movement of the specimen head.

Activating the brakes reduces the risk of being injured when adjusting the specimen head and/or the blade
carrier.

When the instrument is turned off, the electronic hand wheel brake cannot be activated!
Whenever the instrument is turned off, the mechanical hand wheel brake has to be
activated.

For your personal safety, both electronic and mechanical hand wheel brakes must always
be activated when working on the specimen head or blade carrier.

Electronic Handwheel Brake

To activate the electronic Handwheel Brake

•

Press the "Brake" button on the Main screen.

•

The "Brake" button is highlighted in red to indicate that the electronic brake is active.

Note

The motorized cutting drive cannot be started if the electronic Handwheel brake is activated.

To release the electronic Handwheel Brake

•

Press the "Brake" button on the Main screen again.

•

The "Brake" button is highlighted in white to indicate that the electronic Handwheel Brake is

now deactivated.

Note

For safety reasons, the brake function is automatically activated after each stop of the motorized cutting
drive.
