Section 3 Installation
3.1 Installation of the components
Unpack all supplied parts carefully, as they are highly sensitive in part to shock and
impact. Read the user manual prior to installation and proceed exactly as described.
3.1.1 Operating environment
Observe the following points to allow the instrument to function normally and give a long
operating life.
• Position the instrument securely on a flat surface taking care to remove any objects
from under the device.
• The ambient temperature must be 15 °C to 35 °C (60 °F to 95 °F).
• The relative humidity must be lower than 75% (no condensate formation).
• A minimum clearance of 15 cm (5.9inches) must be ensured above and on all sides of
the device; this allows the air to circulate and prevents overheating of the electric
components. The dosage arm of the sample changer must be able to move freely.
• Do not operate or store the instrument in extremely dusty, humid or wet locations.
• Make sure that no liquids enter the instrument and immediately wipe away any liquids
that contact the instrument.
• Protect the instrument against vibrations, direct sunlight, corrosive gases as well as
strong magnetic and/or electric fields.
• Only use genuine replacement parts and accessories.
• The instrument must be serviced by the manufacturer's service department at the
prescribed intervals.
3.1.2 Installation of the devices
The carrying strap provided must be used to be able to carry the analysis unit safely over
short distances.
