Environmental Factors
The Summit spectrometer is a robust instrument designed to be used in many environments. However,
for best performance, keep it in a relatively dust-free and low-humidity environment. The spectrometer
operates reliably at temperatures between 15 and 35 °C, but for optimal performance should be kept
between 20 and 22 °C.
Humidity can cause condensation to form inside the instrument, which could damage internal
components. A few precautions can typically protect your instrument from humidity:
l
Maintain the instrument’s desiccant, including while the instrument is in storage.
l
Avoid rapid changes in temperature.
n
Keep the instrument away from sources of cool or hot air, such as near heating and air con-
ditioning vents or large windows.
If your spectrometer will be kept in an especially humid environment, consider installing a purge gas kit.
Electrical Requirements
Power supplied to the spectrometer must be from dedicated, uninterrupted sources and free from the
following issues:
l
Voltage dropouts
l
Transient spikes
l
Frequency shifts
l
Other line disturbances
If you suspect problems with your power, we recommend a power quality audit. Contact us or your local
electrical authority for more information.
