4.4 LEVELLING THE 2AP
For proper operation the 2AP must be levelled correctly on its stand. The 2AP levelling can be done
either by means of the four supplied levelling screws for mounting on a flat surface or by the three
levelling feet on the optional Tripod Floor Stand.
Prior to configuring the 2AP, it should be levelled on its mounting surface. To help accomplish this
task, the 2AP Gear Drive is equipped with a high accuracy bubble level visible through the viewing
window in the instrument cover.
• The standard bottom flange can function as levelling unit, if the 2AP was purchased without
the optional Tripod Floor Stand. With the main mounting bolts loosened off slightly, adjust
the levelling screws to move the bubble into the center of the level. Once the 2AP is level,
secure the levelling screws in place with the locking nuts and tighten the main mounting
bolts to ensure there will be no movement during operation, see figure 4.8.
• If the 2AP was purchased with the optional Tripod Floor Stand the unit can be leveled using
the three levelling feet on the Stand. Adjust the levelling feet to move the bubble into the
center of the level, see figure 4.9.
