Location
Consider these points
when
planning the location
of
your
system:
•
If
possible, choose a site easily accessible by Thermo Nicolet
personnel and have a telephone near the system. Should the
system require technical support, optional
R.S.
V.P.
remote
diagnostic support, or service, these measures will save time.
• An electrical power source must be nearby. The Avatar
spectrometer has a 2.5 m
(8
feet) long power cord.
• The floor ( and table or counter used for a work surface) should
be rigid to avoid vibration. Keep the spectrometer away from air
conditioners, refrigeration units and other machinery that may
vibrate the floor. While vibration will not damage the
spectrometer,
it can compromise spectral quality.
• Make sure the spectrometer and any accessories will fit in the
work space you choose. Compare the work space with the
dimensions shown in the next section and in the "Utility
Requirements" and "Accessory Modules" chapters.
Access covers must be able to open for maintenance and
service. Leave at least
45
cm (18 in)
of
clearance above the
spectrometer to allow the sample compartment cover to be
opened fully. (Some accessories may require more clearance.)
If
possible, leave at least 30 cm (12 in)
of
clearance behind
the spectrometer and any accessory modules to allow service
access.
If
you use more than one table to support the spectrometer
and any accessory modules, the table tops must be the same
height; otherwise, the external beam port will not align.
