Vibration
Environmental
Considerations
Environmental considerations include temperature, vibration,
magnetic fields, humidity and static electricity.
Maintain the temperature in the work space between 16° and 27°C
(60° and 80°F). For better long-term stability, keep the temperature
between 20° and 22°C (68° and 72°F). Temperature changes may
result in long-term drift in the system response.
Once the spectrometer has been installed, plan to leave it turned on.
The internal temperature and stability
of
the spectrometer will
change significantly
if
it is switched on and off daily. Long-term
stability improves with the length
of
time the spectrometer has been
on.
A void placing the system near air conditioning ducts or large
windows. Even
if
the windows have curtains, there is still significant
heat loss through the glass at night.
Keep sources
of
heat, such
as
hot plates and heating mantles, away
from the instrument. Do not place the spectrometer near heating or
air conditioning vents.
Floor vibration or acoustical noise from heavy manufacturing
equipment
or
other sources can affect the performance
of
your
spectrometer. Minimize or eliminate noise and vibration wherever
possible.
If
vibration is a problem in your work space, consider
placing the spectrometer on a marble-top table or counter
or
obtaining a vibration isolation system.
