How to Unpack the VideometerLab

Before You Start

Do not cut open

The crate is designed to be opened from the top. Never cut into it, as a blade can reach the instrument inside. Cut only the outer wrap and the securing strips.

Two-person lift

Two people are needed to lift the VideometerLab off the pallet. Agree on the route and the destination surface before you lift.

Instrument weight

The instrument is heavy and top-shaped for handling with two hands. The exact weight is stated on the shipping label. Check it before lifting.

Keep the packaging

Keep the pallet, crate and carton frame. You will need them if the instrument is moved to a new location or returned for maintenance.

Place the instrument and install it

Carefully lift the VideometerLab and place it on a flat and sturdy surface.
Follow the instructions in the VideometerLab User and Mantainance Manuals to install the VideometerLab correctly.
The manuals can be found in the VideometerLab Software under Help – User Manuals – Imaging Devices.
It is a good idea to save the boxes for eventual future use (moving the instrument to a new location, shipping for mantainance, etc.).
