1-20 Sysmex SF-3000 Operator's Manual -- Revised September 1995
13.3 Space Requirements
It is important to install the instrument in a suitable location. A poor location can
adversely affect its performance. Consider the following space requirements:
• Select a location near a power source and close to a suitable drain.
• Leave at least 0.5 m space on both sides, and at the rear and top of the system for
easy maintenance and servicing. A minimum of 0.2 m must be maintained between
the rear panel and the wall to allow for heat dissipation and tube clearance.
• Install the Pneumatic Unit, reagents and printers in suitable places that will make your
work easy.
WARNING!: Install the Sampler Unit on a table or work bench. If the Sampler Unit
is installed without supporting desktop under the unit, there is a
possibility that the SF-3000 system could accidentally fall.
13.4 Installation Environment
The environmental requirements are listed below:
• Operate the SF-3000 within a temperature range of 15 - 30°C (optimum temperature
25°C) and relative humidity of 30 - 85%.
• To compensate for heat generated by the system, approximately 430 kcal/hour (1705
BTU/hour) is required in an air-conditioned environment. (This figure does not
include additional cooling capacity required for the optional printers.)
• Avoid using the SF-3000 in areas of extreme temperature and direct sunlight.
• Place the SF-3000 in a well ventilated location.
• Avoid placing the SF-3000 near potentially interfering devices capable of emitting
radio frequencies such as a radio or television receiver.
