Product safety and dangers
Temperature test chambers of type TTC and climatic test chambers of type CTC are technically
advanced, manufactured using high-quality materials and are tested for many hours in the
factory. The test chambers are state-of-the-art technology and comply with recognised techni-
cal safety regulations. However, there are still dangers involved, even when the appliance is
used as intended. These dangers are described below.
Warning!
When opening the chamber door, hot steam may escape and scald
you. Remain behind the door when you open it and let out the
steam, or allow the test chamber to cool down before opening the
door.
Warning!
Depending on operation, the surfaces in the chamber interior, the
viewing window, the cable feed-through and the chamber load may
be very hot or very cold. You could suffer from burns or frostbite if
you touch these surfaces. Allow the chamber interior to first adjust
to room temperature after opening the door, or use heat-resistant
protective gloves.
Warning!
After removing covers, voltage-carrying parts may be exposed. You
may receive an electric shock if you touch these parts. Disconnect
the mains plug before removing any covers.
Any work inside the unit may only be performed by qualified electri-
cians.
Warning!
When loading the chamber with an unsuitable load, toxic or explo-
sive vapours or gases may be produced. This could cause the cham-
ber to explode, and people could be badly injured or poisoned. The
chamber may only be loaded with materials/test objects which do
not form any toxic or explosive vapours when heated up (see also
chapter 2.6 Intended Use on page 14 ).

Safety Labelling
The test chamber is provided with warning
stickers on the door to warn of dangerous
temperatures inside the chamber interior
( Fig. 1 ). These stickers must not be removed
and must always be well visible. If they
become unrecognisable or if they peel off,
they must be replaced. You can order the
stickers from Memmert customer service.
