Front view Side view
The machine is suspended on the crutches and is ready for the alternative A or B.
1.3.3. Options A or B
A) The machine can be installed on the delivered table an be moved where you want (moving of the complete group
machine + table). Careful : Beforehand, set up the machine 400mm above the ground.
B) The machine is deposited directly on the pallet truck (or other device) to be moved at the desired location (before-
hand, remove the 4 crutches for passing the doors).
The pallet truck or elevator can be insered under the machine base lengthwise or laterally, depending on your needs
(please check that the 3 machine feets don’t outreach the base).
After the moving, the machine can be installed on the provided table or directly on the ground for «L version».
Remark for model S145L : The crutches device can be useful to pass the door, limited height 2m20cm.
1.3.3.1 Option A
Installation & positioning of the all machine and table.
STEP 1
Once the machine is suspended on the crutches or on pallet truck/elevator, wind/screw the 3 feet out until protruding
past the base between 10 and 12 mm from the base.
1) Unlock the 2 front feets (use a com-
bination wrench of 19mm if the feets
are stucked) and operate manually.
2) Same for the back foot.
Removing the back fairing
Unlocking the foot (use
a combination wrench of
19mm if the foot is stuc-
ked) and operate manually.

Unpacking, preparation and fairing of the table
Unpack the table
1) Packed table. 2) Remove the
outside box.
3) Remove the accesso-
ries and the PC.
4) Remove the fasteners
The table is ready to be manipulated.
1.3.3.2. Preparation and fairing removing
1) Unscrew the 4 screws M6 of
the plate.
Figures 12

QUICKSTART
2) Move the table from the pallet to the ground by flipping up the
tubular frame (has to be done by 2 persons)
3) Unscrew the 4 lateral back screws, then slide all the fairing forward, as a drawer principle.
4) Remove completly the fairing to manipulate the table with a pallet truck or elevator.
5) Unscrew the back pannel of the machine.
Remark : This manipulation avoids the damages risk according to the length of the used pallet truck and offers a pos-
sibility to move the table from the back.

QUICKSTART
1) Bring the table under the ma-
chine (Example below with crutches
system)
2) Setting the table in front of the
3 feets of the machine (set between
10 to 12mm)
3) Set the table, put it in contact
with the machine and delight the 4
crutches with the pallet truck.
The all machine and table can be moved in one piece with the pallet truck.
Remark about the height of the complete set :
The set S145L + table raise a height of 2m45cm !
Be careful to sharp turns or small amplitude turns that could unsettle the set and reverse it !
The set S145 + table raise a height of 1m85cm.
Once the machine is settled on its definitive statement, set the level of the table to finalise the installation.

QUICKSTART
1.3.3.3 Alternative B
Moving the machine alone (without table) with a pallet truck or other device.
Depending on your device, two cases are possible :
1) When using a pallet truck --> Get down the machine until it touches the base and delight the crutches to disassemble
them. Follow the procedure 2, below :
2) When using an elevator --> Raise the elevator until it touches the base of the machine delight the crutches to disas-
semble them.
Procedure 2
1) Set up the 2 crutches (one after the other or simultaneously) on the side ’’in front of the machine’’ with
maximum 50mm steps to avoid a failover.
2) Repeat operation 1) on the side «back of the machine».
3) Repeat 1) & 2) until the pallet can be clear.
The operating of the crutches can be done with any type of manual wrench or a screwer with 30mm socket (non provided).
Example with an elevator
The machine (without table) can be moved.
Reminder : the model S145L reached a height of 2m20cm with a pallet truck placed under.
Be careful to sharp turns or small amplitude turns that could unsettle the set and reverse it !
The version S145 reaches a height of 1m60cm in the same conditions (limited reverse risk).
Once the machine (S145 or S145L) is arrived on the desired location, put back the crutches to install the provided table
or set the machine directly on the ground (S145L for exemple).
Set the level of the table to finalise the installation. (see the levelling procedure on next page).

1.3.4. Procedure for levelling the machine
This procedure is also valid for the pre-assembled group machine + table.
1. Remove access panel in stand / machine for cable access
2. Insert PC, add cables and route for connecting machine & screen to PC
3. Add back panel / base
4. Position in final location
5. Then level the system
Example of levelling instrument
Principle :
All the machines installed on the table are levelled through the 4 feets
of the table.
Use a combination wrench of 14mm to control the level.
2 cases A) or B) are possibles / version without table for S145
see case C).
Version A)
1) Set the level on the shelf as the adjacent (once the machine is ins-
talled), then adjust the 4 feets of the table to settle the level.
2) Put back covering on the table. (See page 11)
Version B)
Machine installed on a table, after positionning the table.
• Set the level of the table (without machine) once the location is determined.
• Put the machine on a table with a hoisting equipment and a strap (elevator or bridge crane).
• Put back covering of the table.
1) Set the level of
the table (without
machine) :
2) Put the machine
on a table with a
hoisting equipment :
3) Put back covering of
the table (See page 11).
Result : After the levelling
procedures A) or B):

1.3.4.1 Keyboard and Screen support installation
1) Open the two pre-cuts of the fairing once the side of the screen support defined. (possibility of mounting to the right and
left of the machine according to the configuration of the customer environment). The 2 shapes (rectangle and disc) are used
for the fixing of the support and the passage of the cables.
2) Fix the display support with the two screws provided.
3) Connect the different cables to the PC via the passage provided in the table and in the base of the machine (Ø40mm).
1.3.4.2. Sylvac Tablet mounting
