Environmental considerations
This instrument operates in the 0
5% to 95% relative humidity range. We recommend an environment
comfortable for the operators (reasonably constant temperature and
humidity) for optimum performance and instrument lifetime.
Corrosive substances, whether gas, liquid, or solid, may affect materials
and components used in the HP 5890 and should be avoided.
