SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The DektakXT™ stylus profiler is designed to minimize potential health and safety hazards during 
normal installation, operation, and maintenance activities. However, as with any mechanical system 
that uses electrical energy and compressed air, it contains some physical and electrical hazards.
Potential safety hazards associated with the system are clearly identified in this DektakXT User 
Manual. In addition, warning and safety labels have been placed on the system where there exists a 
potential for personal injury or damage to the system.
You should be aware of these potential hazards and the controls used to minimize them. If you have 
any questions on environmental, health, or safety-related issues associated with the DektakXT 
system, contact Bruker Customer Service at 1-800-873-9750.
UNPACKING THE SYSTEM
IMPORTANT!  Before you begin to unpack the DektakXT stylus surface system, make 
sure that you have already reviewed the facility requirement. At a minimum, you will need an 
AC power strip or three free power outlets that match the voltage requirements of your tool. If 
you have purchased the optional vibration isolation feet or a vibration isolation table, you will 
also need compressed air. If you purchased one of the vacuum sample fixtures (chucks), you 
will need a source of vacuum. The DektakXT must sit on a sturdy workbench or vibration 
isolation table. If you have any questions, call Bruker Customer Service at 800-873-9750. 
The unpacked components of the DektakXT system (minus the environmental enclosure) appear on 
the next page.
