your laboratory helps ensure that the climate is within these
specifications.
3)
Ensure that the air in your site is free of excess particulate matter.
For reference, the air should contain fewer than 100,000 particles
(larger than 5 μm) per cubic meter. If the concentration is larger than
this amount, dust can accumulate on electronic components. This
accumulation reduces their ability to cool off properly and could cause
them to overheat. If your environment is particularly dusty, we
recommend that you purchase the optional dust filter for your system.
4)
Ensure that your site is free of electrostatic discharge (ESD), which may
damage the electronic components of your system. Ensure your static
has been discharged before touching internal components of the
instrument. ESD can damage sensitive components, resulting in
premature failures.
