2.2.2.
Space requirements
It is important to install the instrument in a suitable location. A poor location can
adversely affect its performance. Consider the following space requirements:
-
Select a location near a power source and close to a suitable drain.
-
Place the unit on a clean and level surface.
-
Leave at least 0.5m (20in) space on both sides and above the instrument to
access pneumatics and (optional) built in printer. Provide a minimum of 0.2m
(8in) between the rear panel and the wall to allow for heat dissipation and tube
clearance.
-
Install the reagents in a suitable place that will make your work easy. The best
place is on the ground, below the supporting desk of the instrument. The
pneumatic system is capable of aspirating reagents from containers being 1m
(3ft) below the reagent inputs. Make sure the reagent tubes are not bent,
broken, twisted or blocked in between the desk the instrument is on and the
wall behind. Such circumstances can result in instrument operation failure.
-
DO NOT PLACE the reagents above the instrument, as there can be a risk of
falling and spilling.
WARNING: Install the unit on a table or workbench. If the unit was installed
without a supporting desktop under the unit, there is a possibility
that the analyzer could accidentally fall.
