Hi All

I thought I would respond to the email. If you don't have a foot switch you
can place a dummy plug in the back where the foot pedal goes. You would
then have to get a hand pad to run the instrument.

If you have questions you are welcome to give me a call.

Kind Regards

The RM 2155 does need a foot pedal to run.  We've had ours where the
connection wasn't secure, it would stop the microtome when it wasn't
enabled.  My techs use it as a manual mictotome though.  The foot pedal
just
sits behind the micotome. The next generation RM 2255 and RM 2265 don't
need
the foot pedal to run.
