A.3 Environmental Specifications
Refer to Table A-2 for environmental specifications for the NIRvana-LN system.
CAUTION!
!
High humidity climates may require the continuous flushing of the
spectrograph’s exit port with nitrogen. If LN-cooled detectors are
operated under high humidity conditions, ice buildup could occur
around the pressure relief vent valve ports and prevent them from
operating properly. Because the venting safety bell covers the valves,
this condition would not be readily apparent. Damage from humid
condensation may not be covered by the product warranty.
