3. PORTASPEC INITIAL SETUP
3-1
The Model 2501XBT Portaspec is typically shipped in two cartons strapped to a
plastic pallet. One carton contains the Portaspec. The second carton contains the
Catalog 2522X Water Circulator, computer and all support accessories.
NOTE: ALL COMPONENTS SHOULD BE INSPECTED FOR POSSIBLE
TRANSIT DAMAGE UPON OPENING THE CARTONS. IF APPARENT
DEFECTS OR DAMAGE EXISTS, IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY THE CARRIER
AND THE DEALER THROUGH WHOM THE UNIT WAS PURCHASED.
3.1.
Power Requirements
The Model 2501 X Series Portaspec operates at 117VAC, 50 or 60 hertz. Its power
source should be dedicated to the Portaspec only and not other instruments or
accessories that may draw heavy current.
The acceptable voltage input range is from 110 to 124 VAC. A constant output
voltage regulator is mandatory on installations where the input voltage is outside of
this range. It should be noted that a constant output regulator can not regulate
differences in line frequency. The line frequency should be monitored prior to
Portaspec installation.
The power receptacle must be grounded with the polarity properly wired. Consult a
qualified electrical technician to confirm this wiring. An open ground or reverse
polarity will render the Portaspec inoperative. It is not recommended to use ground
adapters or extension cords for your permanent installation.
All installations where the standard line voltage is other than 117 VAC will require a
constant voltage regulator. Standard to all international orders is this constant
voltage output regulator. This regulator is sized for the Portaspec only and not
accessories, such as the coolant circulator.
3.2.
Portaspec Location and Operating Environment
Although the Portaspec can be placed in a factory environment if necessary, you
would be better served by placing it into a laboratory environment where the ambient
temperature and humidity may be more controlled and suitable for precision analysis.
The Portaspec does not have an internal fan that draws air from the outside.
However, it does utilize an internal circulating fan to equalize internal temperatures.
This limits the infiltration of humidity, hazardous dust and environmental
contaminants to the Portaspec. When placed in a setting where the atmosphere is
not controlled, e.g. high humidity, the use of an exterior fan blowing on to the
Portaspec is not recommended, as this practice could force contaminants or humidity
inside of the cabinet.
When it is not possible to situate the Portaspec in a laboratory environment, some
users choose to build a small, environmentally controlled room on the factory floor, in
which to place the Portaspec.
Once a proper site is chosen, the Portaspec can be assembled. Following is the
recommended sequence of assembly.
