General
Note: The system should be located indoors or in an analyser
shelter, or similar, to provide for basic physical and weather
protection. Contact with water sources, chemicals, etc. should also be
avoided.
The operating temperature should be between 12°C and 40°C.
Sudden step changes in temperature (>10°C) should be avoided.
Relative humidity should be 90% maximum, non-condensing.
The vibration frequency and amplitude should be within the limits
shown in the following table.
Table 3–1. Vibration Limits
Frequency
≤ 20 Hz
≤ 60 Hz
≤ 200 Hz
> 200 Hz
Where necessary, the instrument should be isolated from sources of
vibration by use of suitable mountings. Transmission of vibration
along pipes and conduit should also be considered.
Note:
Where possible, the instrument should be positioned in an
environment free of particulate contamination.
Although the instrument enclosure is sealed and largely
immune to dust, the operation of the air conditioner will
become impaired over time and will require more frequent
maintenance.
