Operation at an altitude above 3000 meters (9800 ft) is not recommended.
1.5 Electrical Requirements
The analyzer should only be operated from a wall outlet meeting these power input
requirements:
• 100-127VAC/200-240VAC; 47Hz to 63Hz
• Power Consumption: maximum 400 VA
Please ensure that the wall outlet is also capable of supplying the power consumption of any
additional devices (such as a printer).
Only the power cord supplied with the instrument should be used. Avoid using extension
cords. The ‘ELite 5’ analyzer comes with a power cord appropriate for your power system.
Proper use of the appropriate power cord assures adequate grounding of the system. If the
power network is not reliable, contact your representative for options such as the installation
of an external UPS module.
Failure to properly ground the ‘ELite 5’ bypasses important safety features
and may result in electrical hazard.
The instrument should not be placed near potentially interfering devices capable of emitting
radio frequencies (e.g. radio or television transmitters/receivers, radars, centrifuges, X-ray
devices, fans, etc.).
This analyzer is designed to be safe for transient voltages to INSTALLATION CATEGORY II
and POLLUTION DEGREE 2.
1.6 Space Requirements
It is important to install the instrument in a suitable location. A poor location can adversely
affect its performance.
Select a well-ventilated location near a power source and close to a suitable drain.
Place the unit on a clean, level surface. Leave at least 0.5 m (18 inches) space on both sides
and above the instrument to access pneumatics. A minimum of 0.2 m (8 inches) must be
maintained between the rear panel and the wall to allow for heat dissipation and tube
clearance.
Ensure there is enough clearance in front of the ‘ELite 5’ analyzer to open the front panel.
Allow enough space if you want to use optional external keyboard, mouse or bar code
reader.
Your selected location should allow placement of the reagents in an unobtrusive location
below the laboratory bench that the instrument is placed on, or on the same surface.
Placement below the laboratory bench also allows for storage of a spare set of reagents.
Never place the reagents above the ‘ELite 5’ analyzer.
