Installation Safety Notices
!
CAUTION:
The minimum clearance you should allow for proper ventilation around the
chamber must be at least 12" from both the left and right side, and 24" from
the rear.
!
CAUTION:
This chamber is designed for operation in a conditioned laboratory
environment. Operation above 30°C (85°F) or below 16°C (60°F) ambient
room temperature is NOT recommended.
!
CAUTION:
The Input Voltage label on the back of the chamber indicates the input voltage
configuration as shipped from the factory. If the input voltage configuration is
changed, this label must be replaced to reflect the new configuration.
Replacement labels are available from TestEquity at no charge.
!
CAUTION:
This chamber must be properly configured for either 208 V or 230 V (240 V)
nominal input. 208 V and 230 V (240 V) are NOT the same. Do NOT guess!
Do NOT assume you have “220 V”. You must verify the exact type of
electrical service you have. If there is any doubt, you must consult with a
qualified electrician who is familiar with industrial plant wiring. In addition,
the input line voltage should be measured while the chamber is operating in a
continuous HEAT mode to ensure that the expected nominal voltage of either
208 V –5/+10% or 230 V
±
10% is present.

CAUTION:
This chamber should be connected to the AC power source by a qualified
electrician who is familiar with industrial plant wiring.
