Ambient Laboratory Conditions
Place the Odyssey
®
System away from external heat sources
(furnaces, windows, etc.). Additional heating can cause high temper-
atures within the enclosure, resulting in instrument shut down. Place
the instrument away from sinks or other sources of water that pose a
shock hazard. Recommended operating conditions are 15-35°C and
a dew point not greater than 19°C to prevent condensation on the
laser/microscope assembly during operation.
Ventilation
The instrument enclosure and circuit boards are cooled with two
internal fans. There are no restrictions regarding placement of the
instrument with respect to the fan cover; the fan shrouds are not
filtered, and the cover serves only as an exhaust outlet.
Space Requirements
The Odyssey System requires an area approximately 54 cm W (21.3")
×
62 cm D (24.4"). With the hood fully open, the Odyssey Imager
requires 74 cm (29") of vertical clearance.
Moving the Odyssey System
Be cautious when moving the instrument. Always be sure to move
the motor lock switch on the instrument back panel to the
Up (Transport)
position before moving the instrument. Use the tip of
a pen or a small screwdriver to move the motor lock switch. After
