Environmental Conditions
Ensure that the instrument will be operated or stored within the recommended environmental
ranges. This optimizes instrument performance and lifetime. The specified conditions assume
a non-condensing, non-corrosive atmosphere. See Table 6.
Also, see “Heat Dissipation” on page 25.
Performance can be affected by sources of heat and cold from heating, air conditioning
systems, or drafts.
Air pressure 75 kPa to 106 kPa. No hoar-frost, dew, water, rain, or percolating
