This instrument operates in the 0
^
to 55
^
C temperature range and the
5% to 95% relative humidity range. We recommend an environment
comfortable for the operators (reasonably constant temperature and
humidity) for optimum performance and instrument lifetime.
Corrosive substances, whether gas, liquid, or solid, may affect materials
and components used in the HP 5890 and should be avoided.
Space considerations
The HP 5890 requires a clear surface about 56 cm (22 in.) deep by 71 cm
(28 in.) wide, capable of supporting at least 41 kg (90 lbs). Another 25 cm
(10 in.) must be allowed behind the instrument to dissipate oven exhaust
air (up to 400
