2. Lift the chamber as described in
Chapter 5.1, "Lifting and Carrying"
Note:
If you proceed with mounting and operating the chamber, we recommend
that after mounting, you remove (and not only rotate) the safety latch.
Removing the latch avoids unintentional interaction with the door during operation.
However, keep the safety latch for future transportation of the chamber.

Transport
The following activities are restricted to the
When moving the product in a vehicle or using transporting equipment, make sure that
the product is properly secured. Only use items intended for securing objects.
You can secure the chamber at its handles, see
. Do not secure the chamber
at any mounted accessories.
Transport altitude
Unless otherwise specified in the data sheet, the maximum transport altitude without
pressure compensation is 4500
m above sea level.
5.5
Storage
Protect the product against dust. Ensure that the environmental conditions, e.g. tem-
perature range and climatic load, meet the values specified in the data sheet.
If you leave the chamber unused for some time (e.g. between production periods), con-
sider the following:
1.
NOTICE!
Gasket can suffer from wear. Keeping the door's RF gasket under the
closed door's mechanical pressure for a long time can reduce the gasket's elastic-
ity.
To improve the chamber's long-term radiation shielding efficiency, we recommend
relaxing the gasket by leaving the door open.
2. If the chamber is connected to a compressed-air supply, you can disconnect it.
The attainable radiation shielding efficiency of the door's RF gasket depends on how
long the gasket remains in a relaxed state. Extended periods of gasket relaxation pre-
serve its long-term shielding efficiency. The door's gasket was tested by
Rohde
&
Schwarz in a 2:1 time ratio of opened versus closed state. With reverse time
ratios, the amount of wear increases, requiring replacement at shorter intervals.
