Installation
Operating environment and site requirements
•
The dimensions of the EVOS
™
M5000 Imaging System are 18×23×18in (46×59×46cm)
(W × H × D). The system requires a benchtop of approximately 36×36in(92×92cm).
•
If the system includes the optional EVOS
™
Onstage Incubator (Cat. No. AMC2000), then add 16in
(40 cm) to the width of the bench.
•
Allow at least 2 in (5 cm) of free space at the back of the instrument to allow for proper ventilation
and prevent overheating of electronic components.
•
Place the EVOS
™
M5000 Imaging System on a level surface away from vibrations from other pieces
of equipment. Tabletop centrifuges, vortex mixers, and other laboratory equipment can vibrate the
instrument during operation and interfere with instrument performance.
•
If possible, install the EVOS
™
M5000 Imaging System away from direct light sources such as
windows. Ambient light can enter the imaging path and aect the image quality.
•
Operating temperature range: 4°–32°C (40°–90°F).
•
Relative humidity range: 0–90%.
•
Operating power: 100–240 VAC, 1.8A
•
Frequency: 50–60Hz
•
Electrical input: 12VDC, 5A
IMPORTANT! Do not position the instrument so that it is
dicult to turn o the main power switch
located on the back of the instrument base (see “Rear view” on page14). In case of an instrument
malfunction, turn the main power switch to the OFF position and disconnect the instrument from the
wall outlet.
Cell culture hood setup
The EVOS
™
M5000 Imaging System
fits in cell culture hoods that are at least 24in (61cm) deep and
36 in (92 cm) high with a 30 in (76 cm) opening. If your cell culture hood is smaller, it may be possible to
fit the instrument by turning it at a slight angle.
