2 Choosing a Suitable Location
The Cedex HiRes Analyzer is highly sensitive and consists of top-quality electronic and optical components.
To guarantee optimal and reliable performance of the Cedex HiRes Analyzer, select the appropriate location in
accordance with the safety information provided in the Prologue.
Avoid further transportation of the Cedex HiRes Analyzer after the installation.
The transportation locks for the scanner must be attached to the inside of the casing before the Cedex HiRes
Analyzer is transported again. Contact a Roche Service representative if the Analyzer will be transported.
Vibrations or shaking must also be avoided when transporting the Analyzer over short distances and when
operating the system. Focus adjustment must be done after transportation (see “Automatic Adjustment and
Alignment Verification”).
