2.1 General
This chapter provides detailed installation instructions for the UA-66 Urine Analyzer. The
installation steps must be followed correctly to ensure proper installation, operation and service.
Read this section carefully before attempting to operate the instrument.
The UA-66 is a precision instrument and must be handled accordingly. Rough handling or
dropping of the instrument will disturb internal calibrated optics and cause other damage. Always
handle the instrument with care.
2.2 Environment Factors
As with all sensitive electronics instruments, prolonged exposure to excessive humidity and
temperature should be avoided. Temperature should be held relatively constant to obtain the
highest degree of operating stability. The ambient temperature range for instrument operation is
10 to
℃
30 ; The maximum ambient humidity is
℃
80% relative humidity. Before operating, allow
the instrument to equilibrate to the environment conditions. Make sure that the instrument is
placed stably on a level platform. If the 4 feet of the instrument cannot contact the platform
properly, adjust the feet. Turn the feet counterclockwise to raise them, or turn the feet clockwise to
lower them.
Place the instrument where it will not be subjected to extreme temperature variations. Avoid
proximity to open windows, ovens, hot plates, open burners, radiators, dry ice baths, and in
particular, to direct sunlight. The UA-66 should not be used in an explosive atmosphere.
