Environmental requirements

Condition
Installation site Indoor use only
Electromagnetic Do not use this device in close proximity to sources of strong electromagnetic radiation (for
interference example, unshielded intentional RF sources). Strong electromagnetic radiation may interfere
with the proper operation of the device.
This equipment has been designed and tested to CISPR 11 Class A. In a domestic
environment it may cause radio interference. You may need to take measures to mitigate the
interference.
Altitude Located between sea level and 2000 m (6500 ft.) above sea level

Transient category Installation categories II
Overvoltage category Installation categories II
Vibration Ensure that the instrument is not adjacent to strong vibration sources, such as a centrifuge,
pump, or compressor. Excessive vibration will affect instrument performance.
Pollution degree II
Install the instrument in an environment designated pollution degree II (only non-conductive
pollution (e.g., dust) occurs except that occasionally a temporary conductivity caused by
condensation is to be expected). Typical pollution degree II environments are laboratories
and office spaces.
Liquid waste Dispose of the polymer, buffer, reagents and any liquid waste as hazardous waste in
collection compliance with local and national regulations.
Other conditions Ensure the installation site is away from any vents that could expel particulate material on
the system components.
Avoid placing the instrument and computer adjacent to heaters, cooling ducts, or in direct
sunlight.

Ensure that the installation room is maintained under correct environmental
conditions.
• Operation: 20%–80% (noncondensing)
• Transport and storage: 15%–80% (noncondensing)
• Operation: 15°C to 30°C (60°F to 85°F)
Note: The room temperature must not fluctuate more than 2°C over a 2-hour period.
• Transport and storage: –20°C to 60°C (–4°F to 140°F)
