Handling of the Instrument

Contact a PerkinElmer service engineer for assistance in installing or
evaluating the system after moving. The Avio 500 weighs 163 kg (359 pounds),
or 203 kg (447 pounds) with the shipping container. If the instrument needs to be
moved please contact PerkinElmer Service.

Laboratory Ventilation

Toxic combustion products, metal vapor, and ozone can be generated by the
system, depending upon the type of analyses. Combustion products vary with the
type of sample analyzed. If the sample compartment door is opened, a maximum
of 0.9 liters of Argon may escape during the first minute. After that, 0.1 liters/
minute of Argon will continue to escape while the door is open.
An exhaust venting system is always required to remove those gases which are
generated during the normal operation of the instrument.
An efficient ventilation system must be provided for the instrument.
