Rugged Scrap yards are tough on electronic devices, and accidents can cause breakdowns that cost time and money. Vanta analyzers are built to be tough and durable for increased uptime and a low cost of ownership. For additional protection, the analyzers are drop tested (MIL-STD-810G) using U.S. Department of Defense methods, reducing the risk of damage and costly repairs when a device is dropped or jostled. Every Vanta analyzer is IP55 rated to withstand rain, dirt, and dust.* Able to withstand a temperature range of -10 °C to 50 °C (14 °F to 122 °F), Vanta analyzers ensure you maximize uptime without wasting time waiting for your analyzer to cool, even in hot environments.** * M Series analyzers are IP54 rated. ** With optional fan. Operates continuously at 33 °C without the fan.
