INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY 

5.1

 

Installation and Operation 

The instrument has to be installed in a suitable place, preferably on a sturdy table or work area, with normal 
ambient temperature. Special fixings are not required. 
Carefully unpack the apparatus and the accessories and check complete supply. 
Place, if necessary, a spirit level on the work surface and adjust the height of the feet. 

 

5.2

 

Preparation of Energy Connections 

The instrument is equipped with a safety tested mains supply cable and may only be connected to plug sockets 
with earth connection complying with the safety regulations.  

 
Before connecting the instrument, check whether the 
supply voltage specified on the indication label 
corresponds to the local supply voltage.  

   If it does not, the instrument must not be connected  
   under any circumstances. Contact your local supplier or TQC     
   for full specifications on how to set the correct voltage.  

 

5.3

 

Vacuum Connection 

Only applicable for selected applicator series. The applicator has a built in vacuum pump to provide the vacuum 
table enough under pressure to hold test charts of either A4 or A3 size. When the size differs from the stated A4 
or A3, cover up all remaining holes to the nearest larger size in order to create adequate vacuum. The level of 
vacuum created may depend on operation and age of the machine as well as test substrate used. 

 

5.4

 

Mains Connection 

The mains connection is located at the rear of the instrument. Plug in the female plug in the socket on the rear 
of the housing. The ON/OFF Switch is located at the right hand site near the end of the instrument.
