INSTALLATION

General Information

This section provides detailed installation instructions
for the CLINITEK ® 500 Urine Chemistry Analyzer. The
installation steps must be followed correctly to ensure
proper installation, operation, and service. Read this
Operating Manual carefully before attempting to operate the
CLINITEK 500 instrument. Follow all instructions carefully.
The CLINITEK 500 is a precision instrument and must
be handled accordingly. Rough handling or dropping of
the instrument will disturb internal calibrated optics and
electronics and/or cause other damage. Always handle
the instrument with care.

Environmental Factors

As with all sensitive electronic instruments, prolonged
exposure to excessive humidity and temperature should
be avoided. Temperature should be held relatively con-
stant to obtain the highest degree of operating stability.
The ambient temperature range for operating the instru-
ment is 18°C to 30°C (64°F to 86°F); the optimum
temperature range is 22°C to 26°C (72°F to 79°F). At
temperatures under 22°C, urobilinogen and leukocyte
results may be decreased, and at temperatures above
26°C, increased. The ambient operating humidity range
is 20% to 80% relative humidity.
Place the instrument where it will not be subjected to
extreme temperature variations. Avoid proximity to open
windows, direct sunlight, ovens, hot plates, open burn-
ers, radiators, and dry ice baths. Do not place it on the
same bench as a source of vibration, such as a centrifuge.
The CLINITEK 500 instrument should not be used in an
explosive atmosphere. The bench space should be large
enough to allow free air circulation around the instrument
(3 inches/7.6 cm on all sides).
