−When choosing a location for the enclosure, avoid rooms in close proximity to
noise-generating machines, such as production machines, large HVAC systems,
or elevator shafts. If possible, choose a room on the ground floor. Avoid
rooms with raised floors.
−Avoid places within the room that are near open doors, open windows, HVAC
ducts, and high foot traffic areas. To reduce overall vibration levels, place the
enclosure near a load-bearing wall.
−Place the enclosure on a rigid table or desk. Tables or desks which lack rigidity
may impart additional noise into the system.
−Don’t place noise-generating equipment such as CPUs or pumps on the
enclosure or on the supporting table. If possible, place noise-generating
equipment in a separate room.
−Cables entering the enclosure should be slack. Stiff cables transmit parasitic
vibrations. If the cables connect to noise-generating equipment, weight should
be added to cables to dampen transmission of noise.
−Before beginning sensitive measurements, close and latch the enclosure door.
There are a number of upgrades available to improve the performance and usability
of your enclosure. Please contact Herzan to learn more. Upgrades include:
−Air-based vibration isolation
−Active vibration cancellation
−Electromagnetic interference shielding
−Temperature stability
−Internal lighting
−Custom cable management solutions
−Shelves and custom mounting options
