Before installing your instrument, ensure that the environment meets the following conditions to guarantee optimal performance and long-term stability.

 

Environmental Conditions

  • Temperature: Maintain a room temperature between 20 °C and 30 °C.
  • Humidity: Keep relative humidity between 5% and 70%, non-condensing.
  • Airflow: Avoid placing the instrument in locations exposed to direct sunlight or air streams from heating/cooling units.

Table Requirements

  • The table must support a minimum of 70 kg.
  • A free surface area of at least 66 cm (width) × 62 cm (depth) is required.
  • The table should be stable and vibration-resistant to avoid instrument movement during operation.

Power Access and Clearance

  • Ensure the power plug is easily accessible for plugging in and unplugging the instrument.
  • The power switch (located on the lower left of the instrument’s back panel) must be within easy reach.
  • Keep the system door and tray area clear of obstructions to allow for smooth opening and closing.

Additional Placement Considerations

  • Do not place the instrument near strong magnetic fields or high-frequency sources.
  • Avoid exposure to vibrations from equipment such as vacuum pumps, centrifuges, or electric motors.
  • Keep the instrument away from dust and corrosive gases.
  • Do not place any items or liquids on or near the top of the instrument.
