If the installation environment exceeds the above range, we recommend that you shall use an air
conditioner. In addition, avoid a location that easily generates dew condensation (near the heater).
5. Install the equipment far from a device that generates strong magnetic fields and high frequencies.
6. Total weight of the interferometer and the personal computer is about 100 kg. Install the equipment on a
flat table that can withstand this weight.
7. For the IRAffinity-1, the internal dry unit is operating even while the power switch on the front is OFF.
Accordingly, when the power should be completely turned off due to an abnormal occasion, the power plug
should be disconnected. Adopt a layout in which the power plug can be easily disconnected.
8. Keep distances of 200 mm between the right side of the instrument and any other items to access to the
power plug.
9. Use an outlet which is easily accessed in order to pull the cord out. Unplug the power cord of the IRAffinity-
1 instead of turning off the main switch on the front panel, if IRAffinity-1 must be completely turned off in
case of rising smoke, etc.
10. Make sure to install it in a room equipped with a ventilation device to use the IRAffinity-1 after purge with
N
2
gas. Usually, use N
2
gas for industrial use (whose purity is 99.99%) though the requirement of the purity
may vary depending on the purpose of analysis.
