4. INSTALLATION
Starrett Kinemetric vision metrology systems and optical comparator systems are normally
installed by a factory-trained installer who also provides operator training. The information below
covers basic hardware installation in the event that such an installer is not available.

4.1 Required Tools and Equipment
The following items are required to uncrate and install HDV300 or HDV400 metrology systems:
1.
Forklift or pallet cart (to move shipping crate inside building),
2.
Battery powered drill with Phillips bit (to remove top and sides of shipping crate),
3.
Two crescent wrenches (to remove screws which attach shipping tabs to the crate, also to
adjust the height of feet of the cabinet stand and metrology unit).
4.
Two 5 ft (1.2 m) long pipes, 3/4" (20 mm) diameter (to create temporary lifting handles).
5.
Bubble level (to level pedestal and main unit).
4.2 Moving the Equipment
The HDV system or HDV system and cabinet stand are shipped in a single wooden shipping crate,
which is designed to be moved by a forklift or a pallet cart. Use a forklift or pallet cart to move the
crate within the building to the final location where the system will be installed. Exercise care in
handling the unopened shipping crate, as excessive force or a drop may damage its contents.
