Condition Acceptable range
Installation site Indoor use only
Electromagnetic
interference
Do not use this device in close proximity to sources of strong
electromagnetic radiation (for example, unshielded intentional
RF sources). Strong electromagnetic radiation may interfere
with the proper operation of the device.
Altitude Between sea level and 2000 m (6500 ft.) above sea level
Operating conditions
• Humidity: 15–80% relative humidity (noncondensing)
• Temperature: 15 to 30°C (59 to 86°F)
Note: For optimal performance, avoid rapid or extreme
fluctuations in room temperature.
Storage and transport
conditions
• Humidity: 20–80% relative humidity (noncondensing)
• Temperature: –30 to 60°C (–22 to 140°F)
Thermal output During operation, the net thermal output, based on the actual
current draw of the instrument, is expected to be
approximately 960 W (3275 Btu/h).
Vibration Ensure that the instrument is not adjacent to strong vibration
sources, such as a centrifuge, pump, or compressor. Excessive
vibration will affect instrument performance.
Pollution degree The instrument has a Pollution Degree rating of II. The
instrument may only be installed in an environment that has
nonconductive pollutants such as dust particles or wood chips.
Typical environments with a Pollution Degree II rating are
laboratories and sales and commercial areas.
The noise output of the instrument is £ 60 dB when running.
Other conditions Ensure the instrument is located away from any vents that
could expel particulate material onto the instrument
components.
Avoid placing the instrument and computer adjacent to
heaters, cooling ducts, or in direct sunlight.
