A complete instrument installation process is as follows:
1. Install the bracket onto the instrument:
Align the bracket with the interface at the bottom of the instrument.
Rotate the locking knob on the bracket clockwise until you hear a "click" sound, indicating that it has been locked.
Attention: For the TC-8-23 interface, before rotating the locking knob, it is necessary to align a positioning pin on the bracket with the notch on the instrument interface.
2. Install the instrument (with bracket installed) onto the base:
Align the center hole at the bottom of the bracket with the center locking device on the base.
Gently press down and rotate the instrument clockwise by about 30 degrees until it feels stuck.
Press down the quick release lever on the side of the base, and the instrument will further sink and be firmly locked onto the base.
3. Remove the instrument from the base:
Lift the quick release lever upwards, and the instrument will bounce up.
Rotate the instrument counterclockwise to remove it from the base.
Important precautions
Keep clean: Before connecting, make sure that the interfaces of the bracket, instrument bottom, and base are clean and free of dust and sand particles. Any impurities may affect the alignment accuracy and connection stability.
Proper locking: Whether locking the bracket onto the instrument or the instrument onto the base, it is necessary to ensure complete locking to prevent the instrument from loosening or falling off during the measurement process.
Regular inspection: Regularly check whether the locking knob, spring, and positioning pin of the bracket are worn or damaged to ensure their normal operation.
Model confirmation: When purchasing or replacing the bracket, be sure to confirm the interface type at the bottom of your instrument and select the correct bracket model.
