Section 4 Installation
This section describes the initial installation of the Model
2010D and presents considerations for improving the quality of
calibrations.
Placement
The Model 2010D may be mounted in a 19 inch equipment rack or set
on a laboratory counter top or other bench. Use extreme care in
its placement. Allow at least 2 inches of clearance on the
sides. The lower front panel bezel of the unit contains the air
intake vents and the rear panel Electronics Unit contains the
exhaust fan that must remain unobstructed at all times. In rack
mount installations, adequate air circulation must be
maintained.
--- CAUTION ---
Do not install the Model 2010D near devices
which produce large magnetic or electric
fields. The calibrator and air source
should not be installed immediately next to
each other.
Environment
Room temperature must be maintained in the range of 10 - 30
o
C
(20 - 30
o
C to meet EPA requirements). Under no circumstances
should room or rack temperature be allowed to exceed 40
o
C.
Improper installation may greatly decrease the reliability of the
Model 2010D and associated equipment. Adequate clearance should
be maintained on all sides of the unit to ensure proper air
circulation and proper operation.
The unit should be operated in a dust free environment to ensure
that dust and lint do not build up on delicate electronic
components. Air intake and exhaust vents should be cleaned on a
regular basis to maintain adequate airflow.
