Bench Space
The detector dimensions and weight (see
instrument on almost any desk or laboratory bench. It needs an additional 2.5 cm (1.0
inch) of space on either side and approximately 8 cm (3.1 inches) in the rear for air
circulation and electric connections.
If the bench should carry a Agilent 1100 Series system, make sure that the bench is
designed to bear the weight of all modules.
The detector should be operated in a horizontal position.
Environment
Your detector will work within specifications at ambient temperatures and relative
humidity as described in
ASTM drift tests require a temperature change below 2
over one hour period. Our published drift specification (refer also to
Specifications"
changes will result in larger drift.
Better drift performance depends on better control of the temperature fluctuations. To
realize the highest performance, minimize the frequency and the amplitude of the
temperature changes to below 1
minute or less can be ignored.
CAUTION
Do not store, ship or use your detector under conditions where temperature
fluctuations could cause condensation within the detector. Condensation will
damage the system electronics. If your detector was shipped in cold weather,
leave it in its box and allow it to warm up slowly to room temperature to avoid
condensation.
