2.2 Unpacking the Spectrometer
The Polychromix DTS spectrometer is packed in a single carton. When you
receive the shipment, examine the carton for external damage. If damage is
observed, make certain that the damage is reported on the shipping receipt
and contact Polychromix for further information.
The following items are shipped with the spectrometer:
a) Spectrometer Module
b) USB Interface Cable
c) CD Containing the Operating Program and Manual
If any parts are missing, contact the shipper and Polychromix for further
information.
NOTE: If there appears to be any damage to the spectrometer, do not
continue the installation. Instead, contact Polychromix for more
information.
2.3 Environmental Considerations
The spectrometer should be placed on a sturdy table or laboratory bench in a
facility where the temperature is between 5
o C and 40 o C (41 o F and 104 o F),
and the relative humidity is between 0 and 80%.
NOTE: Do not place the spectrometer near a heating or cooling source
(e.g. avoid placing it near a window or an air conditioning duct).
While the system is not subject to stray light, we recommend that the sample
should not be placed in the general vicinity of a strong light, or a location in
which the light intensity can change dramatically. General laboratory lighting
conditions are acceptable.
