Select an Appropriate Location
Install the reader on a level, stable surface in an area where an operating temperature
between 18°C and 30°C (models with a touchscreen; "TS") or 18°C and 40°C (models
without a touchscreen; "NS") can be maintained.
The reader is sensitive to extreme environmental conditions. Avoid:
• Excessive humidity. Condensation directly on the sensitive electronic circuits can
cause the instrument to fail internal self-checks. The humidity must be in the range
of 10–85%, non-condensing.
• Excessive ambient light. Bright light may affect the reader's optics and readings,
reducing its linear range.
• Dust. Readings may be affected by extraneous particles in the microplate wells. A
clean work area is necessary to ensure accurate readings.
