1 – Installation Location and Environment
The location of the system and environment of your laboratory should follow these guidelines:
A. A safe location that meets all applicable building codes.
B. Easy access around the laser for service personnel to perform maintenance.
C. An optical table that will meet the space requirement for both the laser and instruments
to be installed.
D. Proper environmental HVAC controls including air conditioning and heat are important
to keep a stable environment. Air ducts should not blow directly on laser or optical path.
E. To ensure stable day-to-day operation, please follow the recommended operating
conditions below. The ideal room temperature is 22°C with fluctuations less than ±1°C
during any two-hour period
F. In most applications, vibration isolation is required and structural integrity of the floor
will impact system performance.
G. The laser head weighs close to 200 Pounds and is required to be mounted to a sturdy
and stable optical table. Two or more people are required to lift the laser on to the table.
