2.1 System Placement
WARNING:
Excessive Weight Hazard – Please use two or more people to lift the system. Failure to do so
can result in system damage and personal injury.
As with all electrical instruments, the Azure imaging system should be located away from water, solvents,
or corrosive materials, on a flat and stable surface with adequate clearance on all sides. The system must
remain stationary during operation.
The system should be placed away from interfering electrical signals and magnetic fields. If possible, a
dedicated electrical outlet should be used to eliminate electrical interference from other instrumentation in
your laboratory.
The Azure Imaging System should be installed at no more than 3000 meters above sea level. Additionally the
unit should be placed out of direct, bright sunlight or illumination sources to guard against light leaks.
2.2 Connecting to Power
The power entry module is located in the lower right on the back panel of the system.
Connect the power cord to a secure power outlet.
It is important to connect the system to a well-grounded power source. Azure
Biosystems recommends that you employ a surge protecting power strip to
protect against unexpected power surges that may cause damage to the
electrical components.
