Agilent Technologies 1100 Series Reference Manual page 15

Never operate your instrumentation from a power outlet that has no ground
WA R N I N G
connection. Never use a power cord other than the Agilent Technologies power cord
designed for your region.
Never use cables other than the ones supplied by Agilent Technologies to ensure
WA R N I N G
proper functionality and compliance with safety or EMC regulations.
Bench Space
The detector dimensions and weight (see Table 1) allows you to place the
detector 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 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 the specifications at ambient temperatures and
relative humidity described in Table 1.
ASTM drift tests require a temperature change below 2
over one hour period. Our published drift specification (refer also to
"Performance Specifications"
Larger ambient 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
Turbulences around one minute or less can be ignored.
Do not store, ship or use your detector under conditions where temperature
C A U T I O N
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.
