NSTALLATION
Finding a Place for Nimbie
Nimbie should be placed on a fairly level surface, firm enough to support
the unit and discs. Always allow ample workspace for your operation, with
easy access to the blank and finished discs.
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or high humidity, as it may cause
the unit to malfunction.
Nimbie can be placed on a raised block to process 100 or more discs in one
session. See the “More Than 30 Discs in One Session” section.
Using the Detachable Legs
Nimbie is designed to work either with or without detachable legs. Without
the legs, the Reject Disc Slot (recession) on Nimbie’s base will hold up to 3
rejected discs.
If your application doesn’t involve rejected discs,
you may use Nimbie without the legs. It is,
however, recommended to use the legs when
possible.
The legs will raise Nimbie and provide a
sufficient room to accommodate additional
rejected discs, and to get easier access to
rejected discs as well.
Attaching legs to Nimbie is simple. Inserting one
leg after another on Nimbie’s base, match the
leg to Nimbie (A to A’) and gently snap the leg
into the receptacle (B to B’) until it is firmly
attached.
To remove the legs, gently press the notch (N)
and pull it outward from the receptacle (B’).
Nimbie Hardware Installation
Follow the steps below to complete Nimbie's hardware installation:
1)
Place Nimbie on level surface so that it stands firmly on its legs.
2)
Place the spindle box that comes with the unit in front of Nimbie. Use
the alignment pad to appropriately position the spindle box under the
Finish Disc Slot.
3)
Use the NimbieCable that comes with the unit to connect Nimbie to
the Nimbie Chorus Master unit.
You have now successfully completed the installation of Nimbie device.
