46 NIRFlex N-500 Operation Manual, Version F
The instrument must be installed:
indoor only with a clearance of 15 cm minimum to walls and any other objects •
without being exposed to heating or cooling source (e.g. direct sunlight or air conditioning) •
with the transportation lock in unlocked posit • ion (see previous section)
on a stable and horizontal position •
NOTE
Because of its weight it is recommended to carry the instrument with two persons.
If the instrument is installed on a laboratory cart, the cart should have large, soft wheels (approx. 10
cm diameter) for better shock absorption at transport on even floors.
To avoid damage by condensate moisture, special attention is needed when the instrument is moved
between environments with bigger temperature difference! When moving the instrument from a colder
to a warmer environment, let it acclimatize to the ambient temperature before switching it on!
NOTICE
Risk of instrument damage by moisture condensate.
Let the instrument sufficiently acclimatize at relocation •
The electric plug on the measuring cell is only designed to plug-in the measuring cells. Do not connect
any other item.
