4.4 Transporting the System in a Building
Before entering the building with the system, identify the route you want to use to get
the system to the installation site.
The site manager is responsible for ensuring that:
all floors en-route to the site installation area can handle the total weight of the
system together with the transportation mechanism.
the building infrastructure (such as the elevators) can handle the total weight of the
system together with the transportation mechanism.

5Installation Area
IMPORTANT!
If the TS-1800 is going to be located in an area that is not on ground floor level, it is
important that you take note of the weight and dimensions of the machine. You must
ensure that you are able use existing elevators to get the system to a higher floor level. If
existing elevators are not suitable, you will need to make special arrangements to ensure
that the TS-1800 can be lifted to the required floor level.
The installation area should be free of sources of vibration and electromagnetic
interference that might affect the proper functioning of the TS-1800.
Locate the TS-1800 in an area with a level floor. The gradient of the floor should be less
than 0.5% (5mm per meter).
The floor should be stable and must be able to bear the load of the TS-1800. The
minimum floor load specification is 235Kg/m2(48lb/ft2).
Clearance around and above the TS-1800 should ensure convenient access and servicing.
The area around the TS-1800 must remain dry at all times.
