Bench Space
The module dimensions and weight (see
place the module on almost any desk or laboratory bench. It needs an
additional 2.5 cm (1.0 inches) 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 an Agilent system, make sure that the bench is
designed to bear the weight of all modules.
The module should be operated in a horizontal position.
Environment
Your detector will work within the specifications at ambient temperatures and
relative humidity described in
ASTM drift tests require a temperature change below 2 °C/hour (3.6 °F/hour)
over one hour period. Our published drift specification (refer also to
"Specifications"
temperature 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 °C/hour (1.8 °F/hour).
Turbulences around one minute or less can be ignored.
The module is designed to operate in a typical electromagnetic environment (EN61326-1)

where RF transmitters, such as mobile phones, should not be used in close proximity.
Condensation within the module

Do not store, ship or use your module under conditions where temperature
fluctuations could cause condensation within the module.
If your module was shipped in cold weather, leave it in its box and allow it to warm
slowly to room temperature to avoid condensation.
