Condition
Description
Altitude Located between sea level and 6000 ft (∼1800 m) above sea level
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.
Humidity 15–80% (noncondensing)
Installation site For indoor use only
Pollution
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 at idle.
Temperature 15–30℃ (60–85°F)
Thermal output
During operation the net thermal output, based on the actual
current draw of the QuantStudio
™
6 and 7 Flex Instrument and
computer, is expected to be approximately 2731 BTU/hour [800 W].
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.
Other conditions
Ensure the room is away from any vents that could expel
particulate material on the instrument components.
Avoid placing the instrument and computer adjacent to heaters,
cooling ducts, or in direct sunlight.
