agency. Installation may be performed by the end user.
Under normal circumstances this unit is intended for use indoors, at room temperatures
between 5
°
and 40
°
C, at no greater than 80% Relative Humidity (at 25
°
C) and with a
supply voltage that does not vary by more than 10%. Customer service should be
contacted for operating conditions outside of these limits.
2.1
Power Source:
The electrical supply circuit to the incubator must conform to all
national and local electrical codes. Consult the incubator’s serial data plate for
the voltage and ampere requirements before making connection. VOLTAGE
SHOULD NOT VARY MORE THAN 10% FROM THE SERIAL PLATE RATING.
This unit is intended for 50/60 Hz application. A separate circuit is recommended
to prevent possible loss of product due to overloading or failure of other
equipment on the same circuit.
2.2 Location:
In selecting a location, consider all conditions which might affect
performance, such as heat from radiators, ovens, autoclaves, etc. Avoid direct sun,
fast moving air currents, heating/cooling ducts and high-traffic areas. Allow a
minimum of 10cm between the unit and walls or partitions which might obstruct free
air flow.
2.3 Lifting
/
Handling:
These units are heavy and care should be taken to use
appropriate lifting devices that are sufficiently rated for these loads. Units should
only be lifted from their bottom surfaces. Doors, handles and knobs are not
adequate for lifting or stabilization. The unit should be completely restrained from
tipping during lifting or transport. All moving parts, such as shelves and trays
should be removed and doors need to be positively locked in the closed position
during transfer to prevent shifting and damage.
CAUTION: Position and level the incubator before filling with water.
2.4 Leveling:
The unit must sit level and solidly. Leveling feet are supplied and must
be installed in the four holes in the bottom corners of the unit. With the feet
