Pre-Installation Considerations
Location and Environment
The location of the system and environment of your lab should have the following features:
A.
A safe location that meets all applicable building codes.
B.
Easy access with adequate clearance around the instrument.
C.
An optical table that will meet the space requirement of the instruments
to be installed.
D.
Proper air conditioning could be critical for the performance of the laser.
For certain applications ambient room temperature changes may be an important
factor for the laser system’s performance. Air ducts should not blow directly on
laser or optical path.
E.
To ensure stable day-to-day operation, the recommended minimum and maximum
operating room temperatures are 20 - 25°C. Room temperature should ideally be
22°C and should not fluctuate ±1°C during any two-hour period.
F.
In some applications vibration isolation may be required for your system.
Structural integrity of the flooring could play an important role.
G.
Please note that the laser head is very heavy and requires a sturdy and stable
optical table.

Physics Field Service Engineer.
