Fully assembled

Note
When stations are combined, the mechanical setup, as well as sensor positions and settings, may
have to be changed.
Commissioning is normally limited to visual inspection in order to ensure correct tubing connections, wiring
and operating voltage supply.
All components, tubing connections and cabling are clearly identified, so that all of the connections can be
readily restored.
