Transport
Care is to be taken that the transport of the stations is to be executed only by a suitable transport vehicle.
The weight amounts up to 500 kg, depending on the station.
The route of transport is to be cleared in advance, to be accessible to the transport vehicle. Installation of
warning signs or barriers may be required.
The transport boxes are to be opened with care, as additional components, such as computers may be
contained in the delivery, which are to be protected from falling out.
i
Once the transport box has been opened and the possibly contained additional
components removed, the station can be taken out to be transported to its destination by
means of two fork-lifts or one fork-lift truck.
Please check the stability of all of the profile connectors by means of an Allen key size 6.
The connectors may have come loose during transport, due to inevitable vibration.

Pay special attention to all overhanging components. Sensors and similar small parts are
very easily damaged in case of improper transport.
The stations are not to be picked up by or even under the mounted feet – increased risk of
becoming trapped or contused.
Check the station for any possible damaged once unpacked. The carrier and Festo Didactic
are to be notified immediately of any damage.

Set up
4.2.1
General information
The installation is to be set up in a frost-free room with maximum relative air humidity of 70%.
In countries with an atmospheric humidity over 70% and temperatures above 25 degrees Celsius are the
premises to provide an air-conditioning system for constant surroundings conditions.
To comply with the regulatory guidelines, sources of electrical interference such as welding plants, large
motors and contactors are to be checked for electromagnetic compatibility in advance and screened where
necessary.
To ensure fault-free operation a load-bearing floor is required to avoid settling.
Allow sufficient distance between the installation and the wall of the room.
Any dust originating from construction work has to be kept off the installation (by covering).
