4.6 Environmental Conditions
4.6.1 Bench Space
Always place the instrument on a flat and solid surface while ensuring that there are no
obstruction to the Touch Screen on the right-hand side of the instrument. The minimum
bench space that required is a width of 1000 mm and a depth of 700 mm - The depth
constraint is required to ensure there is no overhang on the front of the instrument.
The instrument should be placed no further than 1 meter away from an appropriate
power source.
The door to the instrument swings upwards. When fully raised, the height from the base
of the instrument to the extreme of the door is 1000 mm. Ensure the allocated bench
location accounts for this.
4.6.2 Disconnection guidelines
In an emergency immediately turn the power off and unplug from power source.
The mains switch and mains lead connection is located on the right hand side panel of the
instrument. Do not place the instrument too close to any object that might impair
emergency disconnection in an emergency, particularly any object to the right side panel
of the instrument.
4.6.3 Ventilation
The instrument should not be placed in line with a direct draft (such as an air vent) and a
clearance of 100 mm should be afforded from any other obstruction (e.g. walls or other
instruments).
