[3] Installation environment
As is the case with all electronic devices, the instrument should not be installed in places subject to excessive
temperature or humidity.
Temperature and humidity should be held at constant levels to achieve the highest degree of operating stability.
The ambient operating temperature of this instrument is in a range of +10 to +40C. Its ambient operating humidity
is in a range of 30 to 85% in relative humidity (non-condensing). Also, locate the instrument, with at least 10 cm
away from walls, in a well-ventilated place not exposed to corrosive vapor or extremely high/low temperatures or
where the instrument will not come in direct contact with air flow. Install the instrument away from direct sunlight
and do not install it proximity to open windows, sinks, ovens, open flames, hot plates, radiators, and dry ice baths.
The instrument should be installed away from any equipment carrying high voltage or current, such as a large
refrigerator or oven. Since the instrument is very heavy, the floor should have sufficient bearing strength. Install the
instrument on such floor that has been laid flat and the instrument should be secured with caster lockdown feet.
Also install anti-tipover brackets, etc., in case of earthquake. The instrument should be installed near a power
supply meeting the power facility requirements (voltage, current) specified in this Operating Manual. Be sure to
ground the power outlet and wire the power properly using a dedicated cable.
warning!
If the instrument is used in a non-ventilated place, serious health risks may occur to the human body.
