Pre-Installation System Requirements
1. ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
1-1. Atmospheric Pressure Limits (Storage and Operational)
* - During transportation a pressurized environment must be used to maintain the atmospheric
pressure limits.
1-2. Preventing Thermal Shock to the Detector
To prevent thermal shock to the detector, the ambient tempertaure gradient must not exceed the values
as specified below.
1-3. Storage Requirements - temperature and humidity
1-3-1. General requirements
- The system includes a detector assembly in its casing, which is sensitive to changes in tempera-
ture and humidity, and is water-cooled when in use.
- The specified storage requirements assume that the all the equipment remains in its packaging,
including the protection for the detector.
1-3-2. Before installation - short term
For short-term storage (less than 5 days), refer to the storage requirements table below.
1-3-3. Before installation - long term
For long-term storage (more than 5 days), it is recommended that the detector assembly is kept in an
area with relatively dry and low temperature, or area with air conditioning. For example, relative humidity
less than 50%.
