Instrument Location and Rack Mounting Requirements
Locating the analyzer
Make sure that the fan inlet and exhaust vent areas on the sides of the analyzer are
not obstructed. The minimal required clearance is 2 inches. Airflow restrictions
cause additional airflow noise and cause the fans to speed up so they can draw in
enough air for the required cooling. This results in excessive audible noise.
Cooling and rack mounting
Do not rack mount the analyzer side-by-side with any other instrument with side-by-
side ventilation. Make sure the exhaust air from the first instrument is directed away
from the inlet of the second unit. If the pre-heated air from the first instrument is
directed into the second instrument, it can cause excessive operating temperatures
in the second unit and can cause instrument failures. The analyzer draws air in from
the left side and exhausts air from the right side.
When installing the product in a cabinet, the convection into and out of the product must
not be restricted. The ambient temperature (outside the cabinet) must be less than the
maximum operating temperature of the product by 4° C for every 100 watts dissipated in
the cabinet. If the total power dissipated in the cabinet is greater than 800 watts, then
forced convection must be used.
