3.2 Locating This Instrument

3.2Locating This Instrument

This section describes the installation environment in which this instrument runs successfully.

3.2.1Operating Environment

Install this instrument in an environment in which the following conditions are satisfied.

• Ambient temperature: 0°C to +50°C (operating temperature) -20°C to +60°C (storage temperature)

•Relative humidity: 85 percent or less with no condensation

•An area free from corrosive gas

•An area away from direct sunlight

•A dust-free area

•An area free from vibrations

•A low noise area

Although this instrument has been designed to withstand a certain amount of noise from the AC power line, it should be used in a low noise area.

Use a noise cut filter if ambient noise is unavoidable.

•An area in which the airflow is not obstructed

There is an exhaust-cooling fan and exhaust vents on both sides of this instrument. Do not obstruct the fan and vents. If there is insufficient airflow around the vents, the internal temperature will rise and the instrument may operate incorrectly. Keep a space of 10 centimeters between the side panel and the wall. Do not use this instrument on its side.
