ADC 2

 

 

Further requirements: 

  Do not place the instrument in a location where the tempera-

ture significantly changes (e.g. under an air conditioning duct 
or by a window). Significant changes in temperature will af-
fect the performance of the unit. 

  Do not place the instrument in direct sunlight. Direct sunlight 

will disturb the measurement of the CCD sensor. 

  Do not use the instrument in an environment with moving 

ambient air (draft). 

  Do not expose the instrument to any strong vibration or 

shock. 

  Avoid placing the instrument near equipment that radiates 

heat. Do not place the instrument near gas burners, electric 
heaters or ovens. 

  Do not place the instrument near equipment that generates 

intense magnetic fields such as electric welding equipment, 
high frequency furnaces, pole transformers, etc. 

  Protect the instrument from excessive dust. 

  Connect the instrument to power lines that are free from 

sudden changes or voltage fluctuations. 

  If you must use power motor driven equipment (such as a 

stirrer or shaker) in the same line as your instrument, ensure 
that a noise reduction unit is in the same power line 

 

2.3.  Conditions for the installation 

Confirm that the following requirements exist before installing 
the instrument: 

Power supply and ground 

Line voltage: 

100 – 240V (see rating plate on instrument). 

Frequency: 

50 / 60 Hz 

Power capacity: 

20 W 

Ground terminal:
 

A grounded outlet should be located within 2  
meters of the instrument.
