Thermo Fisher Scientific Antaris II and Antaris MX Site and Safety Information 1
Introduction
Thank you for choosing an Antaris® II or Antaris MX FT-Near Infrared
Analyzer from Thermo Fisher Scientific. These systems are designed to be
extremely durable and reliable. While they work under adverse conditions
for extended periods, to best ensure accurate results on a repeatable basis
you should maintain a stable working environment.
Before installation, please read this manual and consider its points for your
system work space. By preparing your site before the system arrives, you
can ensure that the qualified factory-trained service representative installs
your system without complication. Five major areas are covered in this
manual:
Regulatory and safety information — The Antaris system conforms to all
applicable safety and regulatory conventions outlined in the General Safety
Information section of this manual.
Location — Consult the dimensional drawings of the instrument and
accessories when planning the location of your system. Leave extra space
around the system for clearance and service access.
Environmental considerations — Avoid excessive static electricity, extreme
temperatures, humidity, vibration, and intense magnetic fields.
Utility requirements — Before the system arrives, it is important to install
any necessary utilities in the planned work space. You will need electrical
power. You may also need a telephone line, network connection, and a
source of dry air or nitrogen.
Instrument specifications — Provides information about the physical
characteristics of the instruments and their environmental, utility,
clearance, accessibility, and serviceability requirements.
If you suspect that you cannot meet these optimal conditions or have other
concerns, contact technical support for assistance.
