Introduction
Operational conditions
3.10. Racks, page 1-13

3.1. Environment

The operation of the Pentra XL 80 should be restricted to indoor location use only! Operation of the instrument at altitudes of over 3000 Meters (9800 feet) is not recommended. The in­strument is designed for safety from voltages surges according to INSTALLATION CATEGORY II and POLLUTION DEGREE 2 (IEC 61010-1).
Please contact your local HORIBA ABX representative for information regarding operation lo- cations, when it does not comply with the recommended specifications.

3.2. Location

The Pentra XL 80 should be placed on a clean and leveled table or workbench.
Please note that the Pentra XL 80 and printer weigh approximately 55 kilograms (121 lbs).
Avoid exposure to sunlight.
Place your instrument where it is not exposed to water or vapor.
Place your instrument where it is free from vibration or shock.
Place your instrument where an independent power receptacle can be used.
Use a receptacle different from the one used by a device that easily generate noise such as a centrifuge, etc...
Provide a space of at least 20 cm (8 inches) at the back of the instrument for arranging the power cable and tubings.
The Power switch and Input voltage supply connection should always be accessi­ble! When positioning the system for operational use, leave the required amount of space for easy accessibility to these items

ABX Pentra XL 80
Fig. 1–6 Power ON/OFF switch

3.3. Grounding

Proper grounding is required when installing the system. Check the wall outlet ground (Earth) for proper grounding to the facilities electrical ground. If you are unsure of the outlet ground­ing, contact your facilities engineer to verify the proper outlet ground!

3.4. Humidity/Temperature conditions

The Pentra XL 80 must operate between temperatures of 16 to 34°C (61 to 93°F). Maximum relative humidity should be 80% for temperatures up to 31°C (88°F) and decreasing linearly to 50% relative humidity at 40°C (104°F). If the system is kept at a temperature of 10°C (50°F) or less, it must be allowed to sit at room temperature for 1 hour before it can be used for operation.

3.5. Electromagnetic environment check

◆ The Pentra XL 80 has been designed to produce less than the accepted level of electromag-
netic interference in order to operate in conformity with its destination, allowing the cor­rect operation of other instruments also in conformity with their destination.
◆ In case of suspected electromagnetic noise, check that the instrument has not been placed
in the proximity of electromagnetic fields or short wave emissions, i. e. (Radar, X-rays, Scanners, Cell phones……etc.)

3.6. Environmental protection

▼ Disposal Used accessories and consumables
Must be collected by a laboratory specialized in elimination and recycling of this kind of ma­terial according to the local legislation.
▼ Disposal Pentra XL 80 instrument
It should be disposed of, in accordance with local legislation, and should be treated as being
contaminated with blood. The appropriate biological precautions should be taken.
If any doubt, please contact your HORIBA ABX representative service department.

3.7. Transportation and storage conditions

Storage temperature: -20°C +50°C.
Prior to the shipping of an instrument by transporter, whatever the destination, an external decontamination of the instrument must be carried out.

3.8. Installation
