2–2 Series 3080 Electrostatic Classifiers
Moving the Instrument
Use the handles built into the left and right undersides of the base
or the black handles attached to the back panel while moving the
instrument.
Caution
The Model 3080 Classifier is a heavy instrument. The Classifier alone
weighs 17.6 kg (38.9 lbs) and with a DMA attached can weigh as much
as 23.2 kg (51.2 lbs). The weight can be unbalanced, especially with a
DMA attached. Protect your back when lifting:
Get help from another person to move the instrument
Transport the instrument on a cart whenever possible
Carry the DMA and Classifier separately
Lift with your legs while keeping your back straight
Keep the instrument close to your body as you lift
Mounting the Instrument
The Classifier has no special mounting requirements other than
providing good ventilation (see below). The cabinet has four non-
marking rubber feet that give the instrument a good grip on clean,
level surfaces. The rubber feet (Figure 2-1) are installed in the
cabinet using integrated ¼-20 UNC threaded fasteners and can be
removed (by unscrewing) to allow other mounting fasteners to be
used.
Note: If the cabinet is mounted to a plate, drill holes in the plate to
match the ventilation holes in the bottom of the cabinet or use
standoffs to raise the bottom of the cabinet at least ½ inch
(1.2 cm) above the mounting plate.
