14 | 405 TS Getting Started Guide
Setting Up the 405 TS
Important: Avoid excessive humidity. Condensation directly on the sensitive
electronic circuits can cause the instrument to fail internal self checks.
Install the instrument on a level, stable surface in an area where ambient
temperatures between 10°C (50°F) and 40°C (104°F) can be maintained.
The instrument should be operated in a non-condensing humid environment
having a maximum relative humidity of 80% at temperatures up to 31°C
decreasing linearly to 50% relative humidity at 40°C.
Connect the Vacuum Pump, Tubes, and Bottles
For optimal operation of the 405 TS, all tubing, cables, and fittings for the fluid
supply and waste systems must be properly connected. This image illustrates
the rear panel of the instrument and the locations of the ports and connections
for the fluid supply and waste systems.
