3.6 Moving the System
If the system ever needs to be moved to a different lab or location, follow the steps below:
1. Save any important data on the system.
2. Gracefully power down the unit by:
a. Tap (press and release) the power button on the front of the system control unit -or-
b. On the touchscreen UI, navigate to MENU > SYSTEM SETTINGS and select POWER OFF
3. Remove the helium and vacuum hoses, paying special attention to ensure the O-rings remain in
place.
4. Remove the remaining cables and electrical connections.
5. Reverse the steps in Removing the Shipping Supports on page 29. Replace the red locking rings
and c-spacers and lock the red shipping support down on the tri-flange. Then, unbolt the
system from the optical table.
6. Re-pack the system in original packaging. Some components must be packed upright on a
pallet to avoid damage.
• Follow all handling instructions for the individual components as outlined in General Hazard
Information on page 10 and the System Overview section starting on page 12.
• If you are uncomfortable with moving the system on your own, or if you need to order any
replacement packaging, please contact an authorized service representative.
• Do NOT attempt to disassemble any components of the system beyond the original state as
shipped from the Montana Instruments factory.
