Preparing Your Facility

Handle the spectrograph and accessories with 
care. The 193i weighs 7.5 kg [16 lb 5 oz].

Observe anti-static precautions when 
installing the spectrograph, camera and 
accessories.

Ensure sufficient clearance around 
cameras and power supply vents (Do 

not

 

block vents when operating on benchtop).

Operation of the spectrograph and 
camera close to intense pulsed sources 
(e.g. plasma and X-ray sources) may 
compromise performance

.

Keep dry, <70% humidity non-condensing.

Use correct power supply and cables.

Operate at a constant temperature between 0°C 
and 30°C (temperature fluctuation during operation 
may result in calibration drift).
Store between -25°C and 50°C.
