Chapter 2 Safety
2.2 General Warnings
Warning
If this equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. In particular, excessive
moisture may impair operation.
Spillage of fluid, such as sample solutions, should be avoided. If spillage does
occur, clean up immediately using absorbant tissue. Do not allow spilled fluid to
enter the internal mechanism.
When bolting the stage to the work surface, high tightening torque of the
attachment bolts can result in an increased resistive force on the moving
platform. This in turn can lead to degraded performance and may require the
PID parameters to be adjusted. As a general guide, 70 N.cm is a recommended
nominal torque when tightening the attatchment bolts.
The equipment is for indoor use only.
When running custom move sequences, or under fault conditions, the stage
may move unexpectedly. Operators should take care when working inside the
moving envelope of the stage.
