Preliminary Cleaning
Your new Plant Growth chamber was thoroughly cleaned prior to leaving the factory. It
is recommended, however, to clean all interior surfaces with a general purpose
laboratory cleaning agent to remove any shipping dust or dirt prior to using the product.
After cleaning, dry all interior components with a sterile cloth as necessary.
Installing the Port Stoppers
The unit has an access port built into each side of the cabinet. The ports are designed
to allow customer access for equipment validation and for installation of other equipment
inside the chamber. These ports should be sealed with the provided rubber stoppers to
allow the chamber to function properly. Install the stoppers provided in the port on each
side of the unit.
Installing the Shelves
Each new 7310 Series Plant Growth
Chamber includes perforated stainless steel
shelves. Each shelf requires two shelf channels for installation. The left and right shelf
tracks are the same. Prior to installation, take time to consider what the height of the
product being placed in the chamber will be and set the shelf spacing accordingly.
Additional shelving can be purchased through Caron customer service if necessary.
The chamber should be empty when being moved.
To install the shelf channels insert the rear tab on the shelf channel into the rear wall on
the side wall of the chamber. Then insert the front tab into the front pilaster. Push the
entire shelf channel towards the rear of the unit and snap it down into place.
Each empty shelf is capable of supporting a uniformly
distributed load of 50 lbs / 22 kg. Each shelf which also
holds a light bank underneath is capable of supporting a
uniform distributed load of 25 lbs/ 11 kg.
The maximum chamber weight capacity (stationary) is:
180 lbs / 82 kg (1-door),
200 lbs / 91 kg (2-door)
300 lbs / 136 kg (3-door).
