Spectrometer Dimensions

The Summit spectrometer requires a fairly small space, but make sure you also leave room
around the instrument so that heat can dissipate from the vents and so that you can easily
access the instrument's ports, power button, and cables.
• Summit instrument weight: 10.9 kg (24 lbs)
• Summit instrument weight with touchscreen option: 12.6 Kg (27.8 lbs)
• Dimensions (W x H x D):
– 34 cm x 24 cm x 32 cm; (13.3 in. x 9.6 in. x 12.7 in.)
• Dimensions with touch screen display option (W x H x D):
– 53 cm x 43 cm x 32 cm; (20.8 in. x 17.0 in. x 12.7 in.)

Environmental Factors

The Summit spectrometer is a robust instrument designed to be used in many environments.
However, for best performance, keep it in a relatively dust-free and low-humidity
environment. The spectrometer operates reliably at temperatures between 15 and 35 °C, but
for optimal performance should be kept between 20 and 22 °C.
Humidity can cause condensation to form inside the instrument, which could damage
internal components. A few precautions can typically protect your instrument from humidity:
• Maintain the instrument's desiccant, including while the instrument is in storage.
• Avoid rapid changes in temperature.
– Keep the instrument away from sources of cool or hot air, such as near heating and air
conditioning vents or large windows.
If your spectrometer will be kept in an especially humid environment, consider installing a
purge gas kit.
