Introduction
The items listed below need to be considered when preparing the laboratory for the
Avio 200:
• Environmental Conditions
• Exhaust Vent Requirements
• Laboratory Space Requirements
• Cooling Water Requirements
• Electrical Requirements
• Pneumatic Requirements
Environmental Conditions
The laboratory in which the Avio 200 Spectrometer system is located must meet the
following conditions:
•
corrosive-free environment.
• The instrument will operate with a laboratory temperature between 15 and 35 °C
(59 - 95 °F). For optimum instrument performance, the room temperature should
be controlled at 20

± 2 °C.
• The heat dissipated directly into the laboratory when the Avio 200 is properly
vented is approximately 6600 BTU/hour (2200 W).
• Relative humidity between 20% and 80%, non-condensing. For optimum
instrument performance, the relative humidity should be between 35% and 50%.
• Dust levels not above 36 000 000 particles, 0.5 micron or larger, per cubic meter
of air. The environment should be relatively dust-free to avoid sample and
instrument contamination problems.
• Free of excessive vibration.
• Altitude: in the range -400 to 2,000 m (-1,312 to 6,562 feet)
The Avio 200 has been designed for indoor use. Do not use the instrument in an area
where explosion hazards may exist.
Pollution Degree:
This product will operate safely in environments that contain nonconductive foreign
matter up to Pollution Degree 2 in EN 61010-1.
