Environment Requirements
The operating environment in your laboratory is affected by such factors as temperature,
humidity, particulate matter, and electrostatic discharge.
It is your responsibility to provide an acceptable operating environment for your TriPlus 300
Headspace sampling system. Attention to the operating environment will ensure continued
high performance of your TriPlus 300 Headspace sampling system.
Environmental Conditions
• Internal use
• Up to 3000 meters altitude over sea level
• Temperature 5 to 40 °C (41 to 104 °F)
• Relative humidity from 5 to 95%, non-condensing
• Voltage variations must not exceed the nominal voltage by ± 10%
• Transient overloads in compliance with installation categories II
• Pollution degree according to IEC 664 (3.7.3) 2
• Protection degree IP00
Use the following guidelines to ensure your site has the proper environmental conditions for
the system:
The TriPlus 300 Headspace sampling system operates in an environment where normally only
non-conductive pollution occurs, but in which temporary conductivity due to condensation
must be expected. This is a Pollution Degree 2 environment, as specified in International
Standard EN 61010-1: 1993 and subsequent amendments.
Use the following guidelines to ensure your site has the proper environmental conditions for
the system:
1. Ensure that your room temperature is 5-40 °C (41-104 °F). The analytical performance is
only confirmed for temperatures between 15-35 °C (59-95 °F). For best performance, the
operating temperature should be constant. Use the table below to calculate the amount of
heat your system will generate and ensure your air-conditioning system can handle that
amount of heat.
