INSTALLATION
Unpacking.
Carefully remove the instrument from its shipping carton. Lift and carry
with two people, holding securely underneath with both hands. Use proper lifting tech-
nique (lift with the legs, not the back) to avoid personal injury. Compare the packing list
to the box contents. If there is a discrepancy, call Thermo Savant at 1-800-634-8886 or
631-244-2929, (fax) 631-244-0606 or contact your distributor.
Inspection.
Inspect the unit for any damage that may have occurred during shipment.
Should there be damage, report it to the carrier and contact Thermo Savant or your dis-
tributor immediately. Make sure the carrier inspects the damage and leaves an inspec-
tion report. Register any claims for shipping damage against the carrier or his agent.
Save the shipping carton and all packing materials in the event a return is necessary.
Set-up.
To assure safe operation and best results, read this manual in its entirety
before operating the UVS400/UVS400A Universal Vacuum System.
•
Place the Universal Vacuum System on a stable, level laboratory counter or
heavy duty cart near a power outlet of the required voltage. The bench depth
should be at least 66 cm (26 inches). The outlet must have a rating of at least
10 A for 230 V operation. The system draws high current when first switched
on; therefore, other high-power equipment, or equipment that will be affected by
a momentary drop in power, should not be placed on the same circuit. The
UVS400 is air-cooled, requiring at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance for ambient
air circulation.
The ambient temperature must not exceed 32 ˚C (90 ˚F) for
optimum function.
Warning:
Before connecting the UVS400
/UVS400A
to an outlet, check
voltage, frequency, and amperage to be sure they match
the power requirements indicated on the label on the right
side of the instrument (115 V/60 Hz, 6 A; 230 V/50 Hz, 3 A).
If there are questions, please consult an electrician.
•
As a safety feature, units are equipped with a three-prong grounded plug that fits
a grounding-type power outlet. Consult an electrician to replace outlet if neces-
sary.
Do not defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug.

This unit is “FOR INDOOR USE ONLY”. Avoid operating in areas of excessive
humidity or extremes of temperature.
