Chapter 2: Preparing the Inspection System Setting Up the Instrument
Setting Up the Instrument
To properly set up the Ectane™:
1. Remove the instrument from the transportation case.
2. Position the instrument on a level and stable surface. You can position it either
horizontally or vertically.
Important Regardless of how you position the instrument, you must always have at least 10
centimeters (4 inches) of clearance on all sides of the instrument. You must also
always position the instrument away from heat sources. This ensures proper heat
dissipation while the instrument is in use.
WARNING!
Never use the instrument if it is positioned upside down (batteries on top).
This position prevents batteries from dissipating heat properly and could lead
to the Ectane going into “power safe mode.” For more information on the
“power safe mode”, see “Environmental Conditions” on page 39.
CAUTION
When in use, and depending on the loaded setup, the instrument can
generate a non negligible amount of heat. The amount of heat generated
should not cause any kind of harm, but could prove uncomfortable to the
touch. When moving the instrument, you should use the carrying handle.
