Vibration Isolation - Thermo Scientific Antaris II Manual

Environmental Considerations

Vibration isolation

40 Antaris II and Antaris MX Site and Safety Information
These instruments are typically sealed and desiccated. This provides a
moderate level of protection against environmental humidity. However, in
environments with high humidity, we recommend that you purge the
instrument with dry air or nitrogen and avoid rapid temperature changes
that may cause condensation. (We provide instructions for optional purge
later in this manual.)
Notice Whenever the instrument has been stored or shipped, immediate exposure
to room air can cause condensation damage. Allow 24 hours for the package
to slowly warm to room temperature before opening it.
If you move the system, protect the instrument from extreme changes in
temperature and humidity by resealing it in the protective packaging that
the instrument was originally shipped in. Extreme changes in temperature
and humidity may cause moisture condensation, which can permanently
affect the optical components.
Extreme floor vibration or acoustical noise from heavy manufacturing
equipment or other sources can affect the performance of your
instrument. Minimize or eliminate excessive noise and vibration wherever
possible.
The rollout drawer in rack-mounted systems is designed to isolate the
instrument from minor vibrations caused by power supplies and small
moving parts. Do not install vacuum pumps, compressors, clean air or
purge gas generators/driers or other motor-driven devices in the same
rack enclosure as the instrument. Motor-driven devices should be
installed in a separate enclosure or on a solid, level floor near the
instrument enclosure. Vibrations from the motors, compressors, and
pumps can distort your spectral data.
