W A R N I N G : PRO190SV installation must be in accordance to instructions provided by this
manual and any accompanying documentation. Failure to follow these instructions could result
in injury or damage to the equipment.
2.1. Unpacking and Handling the Stage
W A R N I N G : It is the customer's responsibility to safely and carefully lift and move the
PRO190SV.
lSecure all moving parts before lifting or moving the PRO190SV to a new location.
Unsecured moving parts could shift and cause bodily injury.
lImproper handling could adversely affect the performance of the PRO190SV. Use care
when moving the PRO190SV.
N O T E : If any damage has occurred during shipping, report it immediately.
Carefully remove the PRO190SVfrom its protective shipping container.
lLift only by the base.
lUse lifting hardware if it has been provided (refer to Figure 2-1).
lDo not use the tabletop or cables as lifting points.
lFor multi-axis assemblies, always lift the system by the lower axis.
Gently set the PRO190SV on a smooth, flat, and clean surface.
Before operating the PRO190SV, it is important to let it stabilize at room temperature for at least 12 hours.
Allowing it to stabilize to room temperature will ensure that all of the alignments, preloads, and tolerances are
the same as they were when tested at Aerotech. Use compressed nitrogen or clean, dry, oil-free air to
remove any dust or debris that has collected during shipping.
Each PRO190SV has a label listing the system part number and serial number. These numbers contain
information necessary for maintaining or updating system hardware and software. Locate this label and
record the information for later reference.
Lifting Equipment
N O T E : After you remove the hoist rings, retain them for future use. In the event that the product requires
service at the factory, the hoist rings should be reattached to ensure that the PRO190SV ships safely.
The lifting kit includes two hoist rings. If the stage is equipped with the optional tabletop (-TT3), the tabletop
must be remove before you install the hoist rings. To install, thread hoist rings into the designated holes
(refer to Figure 2-1). If the stage is part of a multi-axis system, attach the lifting hardware to the lower axis.
The lifting hardware must be removed before you operate the stage.
