Only the currently shipping PerkinElmer supplied PCs will be installed free of
charge. Only for these PCs is operation guaranteed. There will be no support for
any other PC, as no compliance testing has been done to operate our software
efficiently. For details on computer requirements see

Installation Preparation
Check for Damage
• The customer must check the shipping box for damage. If any is found, the
carrier must be notified immediately.
Unpacking
• The spectrometer must be unpacked and brought into the laboratory at least
one day prior to installation to allow acclimation. The customer must be
warned about the weight of the instrument and informed that at least three and
preferably four adults are necessary to lift the instrument.
Water Temperature 20-40 °C
Water Pressure min. 350 kPa (3.5 bar, 50.8 psig)
max. 400 kPa (4.0 bar, 58 psig)
Water Flow Rate 2.5 L/min
pH of the Water Between 6.5 and 7.5
Hardness of the Water Not greater than 14 °d or 2.5 mol/L
Caution
If the water is too cold or flowing too fast, moisture may condense on the
graphite contacts, on the furnace windows or inside the water cooled
furnace power supply resulting in malfunction and severe damage.
Moisture on the contacts causes rapid attrition of the graphite surface,
while moisture on the furnace windows leads to attenuation of the energy.
