Location Precautions

The imager's operating ambient temperature range is 15–30ºC
•
(59–86ºF), with a relative humidity of 10%–80%.
If the imager is moved quickly from an extremely cold place to a warmer one, condensation is
•
likely to form. Do not use the imager if condensation has formed. Wait until the condensation
has evaporated. You can speed up the evaporation time by moving the imager to a dryer
location.
Ventilation slots and holes are provided on the sides and rear of the imager. Place the imager on
•
a hard level surface and locate it at least 10 cm (4 in.) from walls to ensure proper ventilation
CAUTION Adequate ventilation is required for proper operation of the imager
CAUTION When positioning the Horizon Imager, ensure there is adequate space to access the rear
power switch.
Do not place imager in a high humidity or high dust area. Airborne dirt particles can cause
•
image quality problems. Avoid placing the imager in areas where ventilation ducts, open doors,
or frequent passers-by might expose the imager and media to high levels of debris.
Do not locate the imager in hot-springs areas where hydrogen sulfide and acidic ions are likely
•
to be generated.
