Environmental Requirements
The normal operating environment for the ISQ EC and ISQ EM MS must have
the following characteristics:
♦
Indoor use only
♦
Altitude up to 2000 m
♦
Relative humidity from 20–80 % (non-condensing) up to 31 °C. The
maximum relative humidity decreases linearly to 67% as the
temperature climbs to 35 °C.
Use the following guidelines to ensure your site has the proper environmental
conditions for the system:
1)
Ensure that your room temperature is 15–35 °C (59–95 °F). The
analytical performance is only confirmed for these temperatures. For
best performance, the operating temperature should be constant.
to calculate the amount of heat your system will generate
and ensure your air-conditioning system can handle that amount of
heat.
IMPORTANT
—If you are not operating the ISQ EC or ISQ EM MS, it is
safe to leave the instrument powered on in a room with a temperature
between 5 and 40 °C.
