SETTING UP
4.2.1
PREREQUISITES
Prior to installation of the CAL3K-F System, the User must provide the following:
1.
A mains outlet for the 3K-F Calorimeter and a mains outlet for the 3K-2 Air Cooler power supplies.
2.
A supply of oxygen at a pressure of 3.0Mpa (30bars) (3000Kpa)
within 4 meters of the 3K-F
Calorimeter. If bottled oxygen is used, a suitable high-pressure oxygen regulator must be
supplied. Digital Data Systems can supply a single stage high-pressure oxygen regulator; contact
your agent for more information.
3.
If a balance is supplied, ensure that a sturdy, stable weighing surface is available. A mains outlet
and Balance connecting cable will also be required (balance cable supplied as part of kit).
4.2.2
SITE SELECTION
The 3K-F Calorimeter is a desktop unit, which can be installed wherever the laboratory space permits,
with two restrictions:
1.
The CAL3K-F system, consisting of 3K-F Calorimeter, 3K-2 Air Cooler, should be connected to a
mains circuit without heavy inductive or SCR switched equipment. It is safe to have balances or
other small electronic apparatuses on the same circuit. Good installation practice would be to
have a separate fused mains circuit with separate earth leakage supply (or an earth current
monitor, if applicable) for every system component. Future computers and peripherals installed
can be connected to the same circuit.
2.
The unit should be located in a place with a stable temperature, not in direct sun light or in the
outlet path of an air conditioner.
Please see above for the dimensions, weights and power requirements per unit. The BALANCE
data would be dependent on the make and model that you will be using.
