Operating Environment
Operating Environment
You can use the detector in normal laboratory and cold room environments.
The following factors will influence the performance of your detector.
Temperature
Changes in ambient temperature can produce noticeable output variations.
Avoid areas that are in direct sunlight for part of the day and those that are subject to draft; for example, do not
place the detector near an open window or doorway.
Contaminants
Vapors and acid fumes can cause baseline drift and noise and can cause damage to the detector.
Ventilation
Allow a minimum of 15 cm (6 in.) space behind the detector for proper fan operation.
Condensation
Before starting, the detector must have reached the temperature range specified (refer to Environmental
Conditions on page 1-3 for more information). If the detector has been very cold, it should stand for at least
24 hours in its new environment in order to allow any condensation on the surfaces to evaporate.
