The installation site must meet the following requirements:
DANGER
Risk of explosion from flammable gas-and-air mixtures
The potential consequences are death or extremely serious injury.
u
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit piping.
u
Store and operate the instrument in a room with a volume of at least 16.6 m
3
so
that an ignitable gas-and-air mixture cannot develop.
NOTICE
Instrument damaged if switched on too early.
After transporting, wait twelve hours before switching on the instrument. The fluid
in the cooling system requires twelve hours to collect in the refrigerant compressor.
Firm, level surface
Minimum space requirements: 810 mm x 1000 mm x 1000 mm (W x D x H).
Take into account the maximum product dimensions and weight.
Take into account the 1100 mm operating height of the drying attachments.
The clearance from the air inlets and outlets to the wall should be at least 40 cm.
The clearance ensures air circulation and prevents the instrument from
overheating.
Do not place loose papers or cloths below or to the sides of the instrument, as
these could impede the air circulation if drawn in.
Operate the instrument at an ambient temperature of +15°C to +30°C.
Make sure that the temperature of the cooling air drawn in is b15 °C and
+30 °C.
Do not expose the instrument to any external thermal loads, such as direct solar
radiation.
At ambient temperatures upwards of 25°C use water cooling.
Make sure the castor brakes are locked or make sure the castor brakes are on.
