3-18 Basic Operations and Maintenance
• Keep the environmental enclosure door closed both when the DektakXT system is in use and
when it is not.
• Never connect or disconnect any cables when the power is on.
• Do not lower the tower without the stage assembly in place.
• Do not move a sample during a scan measurement.
• Avoid vibration and shock during measurements. For example, ensure that an operator does not
bump a surface close to the profiler or the profiler itself during a measurement.
• Always raise the tower to the maximum vertical position when the system is not in use.
