source .
Ceiling drop lines for nitrogen supply and exhaust, electrical, and clean dry air (CDA) are recommended. The floor below the process
station must be flat and vibration-free. The room must be air-conditioned, with no vents directly above the machine. Clearance around
the process station is required so hinged access panels can be fully opened . See the
