Environmental Requirements
The recommended operating ambient temperatures are 59
°
F to 95
°
F (15
°
C to
35
°
C).
The recommended operating relative humidity is 30% to 85% non-condensing
humidity (the system is for indoor use only).
The Pollution Category is number two.
The instrument should be located away from all sources of radiation (X-ray
equipment, radiation storage vaults, etc.). The instrument should be positioned
such that direct sunlight or unscreened fluorescent light will not enter the sample
changer. Direct light may affect the optical sensors within the sample changer,
causing erratic operation. Direct light may also induce fluorescence within your
samples, causing erratic results.
The system must be connected to a stable power source, through the use of
proper plugs and good earth grounding. The system provides automatic recovery
after a power failure. Power to the temperature control unit should not be
supplied through a power strip.

Sample Changer
(optional on 2800TR, 2900TR)
The sample changer automatically moves the samples into position and loads
them down into the detector for counting. After the count is completed, the
sample is automatically unloaded and the next sample is loaded.
The sample changer typically moves the cassettes in a forward (counterclockwise)
direction using a pair of synchronously driven transport belts. If necessary, these
belts can run in the reverse (clockwise) direction (such as during recovery from a
power failure).
The instrument can hold up to:
„
408 large vials
„
720 small vials
„
720 4ml vials
