MENTOR 12 USER’S MANUAL SECTION 1: PRODUCT INTRODUCTION – Page 11
Working position
The Mentor 12 can stand up in two positions to better adapt to your work environment.
Both ways take up very little from your working surface. The standard position is
designed for a tabletop. Normally, you will not need to make any adjustment in the
touch panel orientation when using this position. Ventilation to the unit and access to
the connections are optimal in this position.
If you prefer to lay the Mentor 12 on the floor, stand it over the back side, where the
ventilation holes are found. Ensure that the surface is flat, hard and clean. Do not
operate the unit on soft carpets, cushioned or similar types of surface that can block the
normal ventilation air flow. Sand or excessive dust can get into the unit and cause
serious ventilation problems in the long term. You will need to adjust the touch panel’s
orientation when using the Mentor 12 in this position.
Product description
The Mentor 12 has been designed to make relay testing as easy, safe and efficient as
possible. The built-in computer eliminates the need of buying, carrying, connecting and
maintaining an external PC. This approach provides also stronger security against
operation mistakes and viruses. Yet, the Mentor 12 takes advantage of the best things
that are now common in the personal computing world: Plug & Play, graphical interface,
USB compatibility and access to the Internet, to say a few.
