Magnetic Field And Radio Frequency Immunity; Static Electricity; Ventilation - Thermo Scientific Antaris II Manual

Environmental Considerations
Magnetic
Intense magnetic fields, such as those produced by superconducting
magnets, can affect system performance. The instrument should be at
field and radio
least 5.5 m (18 ft) away from these fields. Minimize or eliminate
frequency immunity
exposure to magnetic fields wherever possible.
These instruments comply with the emissions testing required by
IEC 613265. This electromagnetic compatibility test standard outlines
testing and measurement techniques for radiated radio-frequency
electromagnetic field immunity. Further, they are Class A digital devices as
defined by US 47CFR15.

Static electricity

Since static electricity can destroy electronic components, your system
was designed to meet the international standard: IEC 61326. This
electromagnetic compatibility standard outlines testing and measurement
techniques for static discharge immunity.
If you have trouble with static electricity in your facility, protect your
system (especially when you are servicing or handling components inside
the instrument) by following your company's established guidelines for
reducing electrostatic discharges.

Ventilation

There are no special ventilation requirements for an Antaris system. The
types of analyses you plan may require special ventilation (for example, if
you will be analyzing highly toxic samples or dissolving your samples in
solvents that interact with infrared sources). Chlorinated solvents,
perfluorochlorinated solvents, and other solvents containing halogenated
hydrocarbons are often used as FT-NIR solvents. The pyrolysis of these
solvents by a near-infrared source may produce hydrochloric acid (HCl),
hydrofluoric acid (HF), or phosgene (COCl ).

Hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid are highly corrosive and may cause
accelerated corrosion of the metallic components in the instrument if the
concentration level of corrosive gasses in the air is excessively high due to
improper sampling techniques.
