System Requirements
Give attention to the following points before installing the imaging system.
Electrical Requirements
The power consumption of the imager does not exceed 75 VA.
The power consumption of the stage controller does not exceed 60 VA. The nominal power
consumption of the spectrometer is 120 VA. The line supply must be within 10% of the
nominal voltage.
If possible, do not connect any parts of the imaging system to circuits that have heavy duty
equipment, such as large motors, connected.
If possible, do not use photocopiers, discharge lamps, radio transmitters, and other
equipment with large or frequent transient loads, on the same supply circuit.
Imager
The imager can operate on electricity supplies of 50 or 60 Hz and on a voltage range of 100
to 240 V. The primary fuse (2 A T, 250 V, part number 04970839) for the imager is in the
drawer on the mains inlet connector.
NOTE: No voltage selection is required.
Stage Controller
The stage controller can operate on electricity supplies of 50 or 60 Hz and on a voltage range
of 100 to 240 V. No voltage selection is required. The primary fuse (1.6 A T, 250 V, part
number 09991641) is located in a drawer on the mains inlet.
Site Requirements
Minimum bench dimensions of 170 x 75 cm (68 x 30 inches) are needed to accommodate the
imager, filter box (if fitted), spectrometer, PC and ancillaries.
To get the best performance from your imaging system:
• Place the imaging system in an environment that is relatively dust-free.
• Make sure that the bench top is free from vibrations or mechanical shocks, and is flat
and level.
•
Do not place the imaging system near to room heating equipment, for example, central
heating radiators.
Leave at least 15 cm (6 inches) from any vertical obstacle to the sides of the imager and
stage controller, to permit an adequate flow of cooling air.
NOTE: Do not stand the stage controller on its side as this will cover some of the cooling
holes.
