3.3
Storage
Intermediate storage of the unit is possible in a closed and dry room. Observe the guidelines for tempo-
rary decommissioning (chap. 17.2).
•
Permissible ambient temperature range for storage: -10 °C /
14°F
to +60 °C /
140°F
.
•
Permissible ambient humidity: max. 70% r.H., non-condensing
When after storage in a cold location you transfer the unit to its warmer installation site, condensation
may form in the inner chamber, on the housing or in the sensor compartment of the CO
2
measurement.
Before start-up, wait at least one hour until the CO
2
incubator has attained ambient temperature and is
completely dry.
3.4
Location of installation and ambient conditions
Set up the CO
2
incubator on a flat, even surface, free from vibration and in a well-ventilated, dry location.
The chambers are designed for setting up inside a building (indoor use).
Freestanding C 150 incubators are suitable for installation on tables or on the optionally available stand.
Note: The site of installation must be capable of supporting the unit’s weight (see technical data, chap.
18.4).
Align the unit using a spirit level to ensure even covering of the cell-cultures with the medium. For this
purpose, manually adjust the four incubator feet.
In order to avoid contamination, never place the unit directly on the floor.
CAUTION
Danger of overheating.
Damage to the unit.
∅
Do NOT set up units in non-ventilated recesses.
¾
Ensure sufficient ventilation for dispersal of the heat.
•
Permissible ambient temperature range for operation: +18 °C /
64.4 °F
up to +30 °C /
86 °F
. At ele-
vated ambient temperature values, fluctuations in temperature can occur.
•
Ideal ambient temperature: by at least 7 °C /
12.6 °F
below the intended working temperature. E. g.,
working temperature 37 °C /
98.6 °F
→
ambient temperature 30 °C /
86°F
and lower
In the event of working temperatures of less than 7 °C /
12.6 °F
above the ambient temperature, the set
point can be exceeded.
The ambient temperature should not be substantially higher than the indicated ambient tem-
perature of +25 °C /
77°F
to which the specified technical data relate. For other ambient condi-
tions, deviations from the indicated data are possible.
Avoid direct solar radiation on the unit.
•
Permissible ambient humidity: 70% r.H. max., non-condensing.
•
Installation height: max. 2000 m /
6561.7 ft
above sea level. After the incubator has been turned on for
the first time, enter the altitude of the site above sea level into the RP1 controller (chap. 8.1).
•
Wall distances: rear 100 mm /
3.94 in
, sides 50 mm /
1.97 in
.
To completely separate the unit from the power supply, you must disconnect the power plug. Install the
unit in a way that the power plug is easily accessible and can be easily pulled in case of danger.
