30AppendicesPreparing the installation site• Before unpacking, find a suitable space for the analyzer. Check the dimensions of theanalyzer and combine it with the needed workspace for sample handling to meet therequirements.• The analyzer should only be used indoors. Keep out of direct sunlight. Intense light caninterfere with the optical sensors.• Make sure there is enough room behind the analyzer for easy connection and disconnectionof power supply, for the peripherals, and for the proper ventilation of the analyzer. Therecommended safety clearance is 10 centimeters (3.94 inches).• Make sure you set up and operate the analyzer on a solid level surface in an environmentwith fairly constant temperature and humidity. Do not operate the analyzer in temperaturesbelow 15°C (59°F) or above 40°C (104°F), or outside of the 20%–80% relative humidity level(noncondensing) at 30°C (86°F). Do not expose the analyzer to strong light.• Do not operate the analyzer in close proximity to sources of intense electromagnetic radiation(such as unshielded intentional radio frequency (RF) sources). The analyzer is certified tomeet the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements of EN 61326-1:2007 andEN 61236-2-6:2007.• Do not set up and operate the analyzer in an environment with vibration sources, as thesevibrations could influence the results and/or cause instrument failure..• Make sure the instrument is allowed to acclimatize to room temperature before use.Installing the SediVue Dx analyzerThe SediVue Dx* analyzer works in conjunction with the IDEXX VetLab* Station.1. Before you unpack the analyzer, choose an optimum location for the instrument. The analyzershould be placed on a level surface in a well-ventilated area away from obvious sources ofheat, direct sunlight, cold, humidity, or vibrations.IMPORTANT: Ensure proper ventilation. The analyzer’s cooling vents are in the back.2. Connect the analyzer to a numbered port on the router using an Ethernet cable (provided).Note: For more information about connecting your analyzer to the router, see the installationinstructions that accompanied your router.3. Power on the SediVue Dx analyzer. Once the SediVue Dx icon displays on the IDEXX VetLabStation Home screen, your connections are complete.Note: If the SediVue Dx icon does not appear on the IDEXX VetLab Station Home screenwithin 3 minutes, contact IDEXX Technical Support for assistance.
