Setting up the instrument
4.7 Leveling the instrument
•
Once all accessories are installed (don’t forget the rear panel!), move
the instrument to its final position.
•
Prior to leveling the instrument, check whether the bench surface of
the laboratory bench where the instrument will be installed is flat and
exactly horizontal.
•
Otherwise, use the box level (standard delivery) to determine the high-
est point of the bench. Next, the instrument foot located at the highest
point of the bench must be screwed in almost completely (
see Fig. 21
).
- Then level the instrument adjusting each foot as needed.
