3.2 Counterbalanced Canopy
PGW40 chambers incorporate a counter-balanced lamp canopy (Figure 3-2) for ease of height
adjustment between the lamp canopy and the plants.
The counterbalanced system with pulleys allows a single person to manually adjust the height of
the canopy.

3.3 Plant Placement on the Unifloor®
Plant materials, in pots or trays, are placed directly on the Unifloor® (Figure 3-3) and do not need
to be moved during the experiment. Excess irrigation water will drain into the drain pan below the
Unifloor and be channeled out of the chamber to the floor drain.

Keep all body parts out of the path of the canopy when it is being adjusted.
Ensure the canopy path is clear before moving the canopy.
Obstacles present in the path of the moving canopy can cause damage to the lamps,
canopy, sensors, cabinet, and valuable experimental material.
