2.0 Pre-installation Considerations Continue
2.1 Location and Environment
The location of the system and environment of your lab should have the following features:
A. A safe location that meets all applicable building codes.
B. Easy access with adequate clearance around the instrument.
C. An optical table that will meet the space requirement of the instruments to be installed.
D. Proper air conditioning could be critical for the performance of the laser. For certain
applications ambient room temperature changes may be an important factor for the laser
system's performance. Air ducts should not blow directly on laser or optical path.
E. To ensure stable day-to-day operation, the recommended minimum and maximum operating
room temperatures are 20 - 25°C. Room temperature should ideally be 22°C and should not
fluctuate more than ±1°C during any two-hour period. See specifications in Table 1-1 and table
1-3 in the User's Manual.
F. In some applications vibration isolation may be required for your system. Structural integrity of
the flooring could play an important role.
G. Please note that the laser head is very heavy and requires a sturdy and stable optical table.
Consider room requirements for future maintenance and upgrades by your Spectra-Physics Field
Service Engineer. Space between optical table and wall should be 2ft. to access the laser.
