Environmental Considerations

Element

Specification

Temperature
• Transportation and storage temperature is 10°C–60°C (50°F–140°F).
• The operating temperature is 15°C–30°C (59°F–86°F).

Humidity

Maintain a noncondensing relative humidity between 20–80% for transportation, storage, and operation.

Altitude

Locate components at an altitude below 2,000 m (6,500 ft).

Air quality

Operate components in an indoor environment with air particulate cleanliness levels per ISO 14644-1 Class 9 (ordinary room/laboratory air), or better. Keep components away from sources of dust.

Ventilation

Consult your facilities department for ventilation requirements sufficient for the level of heat output expected from components.

Lighting

Avoid exposing the Infinium Amplification System to direct sunlight and intense artificial light during operation.

Vibration

Limit the continuous vibration of the lab floor to ISO office level. During a run, do not exceed ISO operating room limits. Avoid intermittent shocks or disturbances near the instrument.
