Unpacking and Setup
The
QBC STAR
instrument weighs approximately 30 pounds. Use caution when lifting and moving the
instrument.
Carefully unpack the
QBC STAR
instrument, noting any damage to the shipping carton. If damage is ob-
served, notify the carrier immediately. After unpacking, remove the instrument from the plastic bag, and
place it on a level, stable, working surface free of holes.
Remove the packaging material (cardboard and foam block) from inside the instrument door.
A clearance envelope should be marked 11.8 in. (300 mm) from each side of the unit. The operator should
not stand within the clearance envelope longer than necessary for operational purposes.
Proceed with electrical connection, described below.
Electrical Connection
Connect the female end of the power cord to the
QBC STAR
instrument (see Figure 4). Connect the male
end of the power cord to the main AC power source. To avoid electrical shock, connect the power cord
only to an approved power source such as a 3-wire grounded receptacle. If a 2-wire receptacle is all that
is present, have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-wire receptacle in accordance with the National
Electrical Code.
