near liquids, chemicals, rain, moisture or dusty
environments.
Working temperature range 10 - 40°C (NP80, N60, N50 and C40) and 10
– 32°C (N120); If
the cuvette heating is used the range is 10 - 27°C.
Storage temperature range is 0 - 40°C. Do not store the instrument below or above this
temperature.
If the instrument is subjected to extreme temperature changes, it may be necessary to allow
the instrument to equilibrate. Turn the instrument off and then on again once thermal
equilibrium has been established (~2 - 3 hours).
Maximum relative humidity (non-condensing) of 80% up to 31°C decreasing linearly to 50%
at 40°C.
The instrument must be placed on a stable, level surface that can support 4-5 kg. Ensure
that air can circulate freely around the instrument. Confirm while powered on that no
materials reduce air circulation. Avoid direct sunlight as it may bleach parts of the instrument
and can cause damage to plastic parts.
The equipment should be positioned such that in the event of an emergency the main plug
can be easily located and removed.
Always carry the instrument by holding the main corpus of the instrument and not e.g. on the
optional attached display, pipetting support or NanoVolume pedestal.
