Operation of the D2 PHASER 
Transport and positioning of the instrument  
The D2 PHASER has a weight of approx. 95kg and must be carried at least by 2 persons (fig. 90). 
Mount the four handles into the lower threads of the instrument as shown in fig. 88 and fig. 93. 
Transport the instrument with a trolly wherever possible (fig. 89). Avoid mechanical shocks during 
transport so that the sensitive components are not damaged.  
 
Set the instrument on a table which has a suitable capacity load (fig. 91 & 95). The floor and the 
platform should be level. Check that cooling air can circulate without restrictions. A minimum of approx. 
10 inch (25cm) from the wall or any other vertical surface is recommended (example fig. 95) (see also 
introductory user manual). Avoid direct solar radiation. After transport remove the handles (fig. 92) and 
insert the screw covers as shown in fig. 94.  
 
Press on the drawer front (fig. 96), pull and open it (fig. 97). Take keyboard and mouse (fig. 98) and 
put it to a suitable position (fig. 100) and close drawer again by pushing on its front (fig. 99).  
 
 
Caution! 
Violent pressure to hands and fingers! Take care and don’t violate or break the 
cables of keyboard and mouse during closing the drawer. 
 
Place the D2 PHASER in such a way that you sit directly in front of the display and the keyboard. The 
TFT display should be at eye level or slightly lower. Tilt the TFT screen up or down (fig. 101 and fig. 
102) to optain optimum view with minimum light reflection (fig. 103). Pay attention that your arm joint is 
not twisted during working with the keyboard and mouse. There must be enough work space in order 
to prop up the hands during working with the keyboard and mouse. Try to organize your work in such 
a way that you do not have to work for a longer time with the keyboard and mouse. Hold your 
forearms horizontally, the upper arms should be in casual position. Use a chair with backrest, and rest 
the weight of your legs on the feet and not on the leading edge of the chair. For this purpose, fit the 
height of the chair into the desired position or use a footrest if necessary. 
 
Warning! 
Working permanently or in wrong position with the keyboard and mouse can result 
in health damage. Looking to the TFT display for a longer time can stress your eyes.
 
Switching on the instrument 
Insert the generator key (fig. 104) and turn it to the right (fig. 105) (clockwise). Take the patch cable 
(network cable) with grey connectors to connect D2 PHASER with LAN (fig. 106 and fig. 107) if 
desired (see also introductory user manual). The cable with red connector is a twisted one for 
connection with an external PC. Connect the power cord to mains supply (fig. 108) and switch on the 
system (fig. 109). The boot process starts with four active LEDs (fig. 110) and it stops when the  
operating system shows the logon screen (fig. 111). 
 
Only the green LED (on) remains active (fig. 111).  Enter password for administrator. The password is 
‘password’ (without quotation mark). Note: for safety reasons please change password immediately. 
Start measurement server and programs of the ‘DIFFRAC.Measurement Suite’ in the start menue of 
the operating system.
