Unpacking the System
The shipping carton in which your ECM 2001+ System is packed has
been specically designed to provide maximum protecon to the
instrument during transportaon and normal handling condions.
Upon receipt, the carton should be examined for any external damage
resulng from shipment.
Open the carton and carefully remove the ECM 2001+ System and
inspect the unit for any apparent damage. Save the carton and packing
materials for future transportaon and shipping requirements.
Packing Data
Check the packing slip to ensure that all items ordered and listed are
included in the shipment. Inform BTX immediately if any parts are
missing or damaged.
Power Source
As received, the instrument is ready for use with 100–240 VAC, 50/60 HZ.
The power requirements are 350 was. In the USA, the power cord has
a standard three prong plug.
Installaon
Once you have determined that the components of the system have
not sustained any obvious damage in shipment, proceed with the
installaon.
Place the generator in a locaon that is a dry, level, sturdy surface free
from extremes in ambient temperature, dust or chemical exposure.
Allow the device to equilibrate to room temperature.
Allow unit to come to stable room temperature. Pull the plasc tab
from the baery holder at the boom of the unit.
