Recommendations for Placement
•
NEVER BLOCK ACCESS TO THE MAINS INLET AND POWER SWITCH. The mains inlet and power
switch are located at the rear of the unit.
•
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS: The vents allow air to circulate between the canopy interior and the
ambient air. Blocking the vents will cause hot air to build up within the canopy which may result in
inaccurate lighting conditions, damage to the equipment, and possible personal injury.
Make certain that the unit is placed on a stable, vibration-free surface that will support the weight of the
unit. Assembled weight 27 Kg.
When choosing where to position the cabinet the following factors should be taken into consideration:
•
Avoid placing in the immediate vicinity of other light sources, i.e. windows, luminaires, spot lights,
etc.
•
If lighting in the immediate vicinity is required we recommend VeriVide artificial daylight at a level of
approximately 200 to 300 lux.
•
Nearby windows should be fitted with suitable light excluding blinds.
•
Strong colours should not be visible in the observer’s field of view. Ideally, the walls directly behind
the cabinet should be neutral grey – Munsell N7.
•
The operator carrying out a visual assessment should not wear clothing of a strong colour.
•
The ideal ambient temperature of the room should be between 18 to 25°C.
