Environmental Considerations
Environmental considerations include temperature, humidity, vibration,
magnetic fields, and static electricity.
Temperature
Frequent fluctuations in temperature may result in long-term drift in the
system response.
Minimum
Maximum
Safe operating
15 °C (59 °F)
35 °C (95 °F)
Optimal performance
20 °C (68 °F)
22 °C (72 °F)
Shipping and storage
-20° to (-4 °F).
50 °C (122 °F)
Avoid placing the instrument near heating or air-conditioning ducts, or
areas where the workspace temperature may exceed recommended limits.
Keep sources of heat, such as hot plates and heating mantles, away from the
instrument.
Humidity
Excessive exposure to moisture may degrade components inside the
enclosure. For instruments that are not purged or desiccated, humidity
must be maintained at 20% to 50% noncondensing. For instruments
that are purged or maintained with fresh desiccant, the following
specifications apply.
Minimum
Maximum
Safe operating
5 % noncondensing
95 % noncondensing
Optimal performance
20 % noncondensing
80 % noncondensing
Shipping and storage
5 % noncondensing
95 % noncondensing
