German term or phrase: ab Werk eingebaut
Hello ProZers!

I am translating a newsletter from a microscope manufacturer and I am not sure about this term.

The context:

Das Okularmikrometer (415500-1813-000) mit d = 23 mm zeigt ein Strichkreuz und eine Skala von 100 mm, bei der die Länge in 100 Teile zu 100 μm geteilt ist. Es wird nicht ab Werk eingebaut.

Does "ab Werk eingebaut" mean "factory-installed"? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

agree  milinad: although I would prfere to use assembled rather than installed because normally installation of any equipment is at the site where it would be used not at the point of manufactured. Equipment can be assembled ex factory and then installed at site
