Transport and Installation
2.1
Transporting Equipment
Some of the homogenizers are quite heavy. Use only
suitable transportation tools when moving
homogenizers or setting up units.
Always verify that the clearance is sufficient along the
transport route.
Make sure third parties are protected from injury during
the transport.
2.2
Requirements at the site of installation
1.
The units should be placed on horizontal and non-slip
laboratory benches or tables. The benches or tables must
be stable enough to carry the full weight of the
completely equipped units.
The units may transmit vibrations to the installation
surface. For this reason, install the units so that
surrounding equipment is not affected.
2.
The power supply must match the rating indicated on
the type plate and must be grounded correctly.
