This section describes the physical and environmental requirements of your
Prep system.
PrepLC system
Install the system away from direct sunlight and heating and cooling vents.
These additional conditions must apply:
• Temperature ranges from 4 to 38 °C (39 to 100 °F).
• Relative humidity ranges from 20 to 90% noncondensing.
• Adequate bench space and capacity to support 125 lbs (56.25 kg) plus
the detector’s weight.
• Clearance between the unit’s rear panel and a wall or other structure is
at least 6 inches (15.24 cm). This allows adequate ventilation and access
to cable connections.
• Vibration is negligible.
• The shelf unit rests securely on the bench.
• The mixer in the PrepLC system has to be mounted vertical with the
flow direction from bottom (inlet) to top (outlet).
Delta-Prep system
Install the system away from direct sunlight and heating and cooling vents.
These additional conditions must apply:
• Temperature ranges from 4 to 38 °C (39 to 100 °F).
• Relative humidity ranges from 20 to 90% noncondensing.
• Adequate bench space and capacity to support at least 175 lbs (79.37 kg)
plus the detector’s weight.
• Clearance between the unit’s rear panel and a wall or other structure is
at least 6 inches (15.24 cm). This allows adequate ventilation and access
to cable connections.
• Vibration is negligible.
• The shelf unit rests securely on the bench.
