Bench Space
The module dimensions and weight (see Table
23) allow you to place the module on almost any desk or laboratory bench. It needs
an additional 2.5 cm (1.0 inch) of space on either side and approximately 8 cm
(3.1 inches) in the rear for air circulation and electric connections.
If the bench shall carry a complete LC system, make sure that the bench is
designed to bear the weight of all modules.
The instrument is heavy and thus it is advisable to locate the system on a sturdy
NOTE
bench.
Allow additional bench space for a PC if the instrument is to be computer-
NOTE
controlled.
Multi-Angle Light Scattering Detector User Manual
Pay attention to the weight of the detectors. The detector weighs 16.5 kg
(36.4 lbs). Use proper lifting techniques to avoid potential injuries. Ensure
that you can handle the weight of the load.
Consider the entire weight of the combined system including all the
components. The lab table on which this detector is installed should be
sufficiently strong to support the total weight of the whole LC system. It
should be level, stable and have a depth of at least 600 mm. Otherwise, the
instrument could tip over or fall off the table.
Take measures to prevent the instrument from falling in the event of an
earthquake or other disaster. Strong vibrations could cause the detector to
fall over, resulting in injury and damage.
All other equipment connected to this instrument must be approved to an
appropriate safety standard and have reinforced insulation from the mains.
Avoid installation sites that are exposed to corrosive gases, strong vibrations, or
excessive dust. Otherwise, the performance and operability of the detector could
be impaired, and its lifetime may be shortened.
Never place any liquid on top of the detector.
