4.2.1 Installation site requirements
CAUTION!
The chemicals used in the Leica ASP6025 are easily inflammable and hazardous to health.
Therefore the installation location must be well ventilated, and must contain no open flames. The room in
which the instrument is located must not be used as a permanent station for people. Otherwise the room must
be equipped with an exhaust device.
The installation location must be protected against electrostatic discharge.
The instrument must be set up so that the power switch on the rear side of the instrument ( Fig. 3, item 37 ) and
the power plug are easily accessible at all times.
Do not operate the instrument in rooms with explosion hazard.
To ensure proper function of the instrument, it must be set up while maintaining a minimum distance of 10 cm
from walls and furniture.
After unpacking the instrument, the instrument must be handled only by
the handles (26) on the rear side ( Fig. 3 ) to move it to its final location. After-
wards, the brakes must be applied to the instrument's castors.
