2  Installation 
2.1  General 
This  chapter  provides  detailed  installation  instructions  for  the  UA-66  Urine  Analyzer.  The 
installation steps must be followed correctly to ensure proper installation, operation and service. 
Read this section carefully before attempting to operate the instrument. 
The  UA-66  is  a  precision instrument  and  must  be  handled  accordingly.  Rough  handling  or 
dropping of the instrument will disturb internal calibrated optics and cause other damage. Always 
handle the instrument with care. 
2.2  Environment Factors 
As with all sensitive electronics instruments, prolonged exposure to excessive humidity and 
temperature should be avoided. Temperature should be held  relatively constant to  obtain the 
highest degree of operating stability. The ambient temperature range for instrument operation is 
10  to ℃ 30 ; The maximum ambient humidity is ℃ 80% relative humidity. Before operating, allow 
the  instrument to  equilibrate  to  the  environment conditions. Make  sure  that  the instrument is 
placed  stably on a level  platform.  If  the  4  feet  of  the  instrument cannot contact  the  platform 
properly, adjust the feet. Turn the feet counterclockwise to raise them, or turn the feet clockwise to 
lower them.   
Place the instrument where it will not be subjected to extreme temperature variations. Avoid 
proximity to  open  windows,  ovens, hot plates, open burners,  radiators, dry  ice  baths, and  in 
particular, to direct sunlight. The UA-66 should not be used in an explosive atmosphere. 
2.3  Unpacking 
Carefully remove the instrument and accessory package from the shipping carton. Inspect the 
carton and instrument for visible signs of damage. If damage to the instrument exists, immediately 
file a complaint with the carrier. 
The following parts and accessories should be included with the instrument: 
♦ Operating Manual ( 1 ) 
♦ Paper Roll ( 1 ) 
♦ Line Cord ( 1 ) 
♦ Replacement Fuses( 2 ) 
♦ RS-232C Communication Cable ( 1 ) 
Make sure all these items have been included with your instrument, and keep them for future 
use. 
After the instrument has been unpacked, place it on a firm work surface in the designated work 
area. Make sure there is nothing in front of the instrument that will obstruct the reagent strip feed 
table when it moves out to the load position.
