CAUTION
Condensation by excess humidity.
Danger of corrosion on the housing after operating at humidity values > 70 % RH for
a long period.
¾
Dry the appliance completely before shut-down: Set the humidity to 0 % RH and switch
on humidity switch (5). Set the temperature set point to 60 °C for approx. 2 hours
(Manual mode). Only then, shut down the unit at the main switch (4).
If following storage in a cold location the unit is transferred to the installation site for start-up,
condensation is possible. Wait at least one hour until the chamber has attained ambient temperature and
is completely dry.
3.4
Location of installation and ambient conditions
Set up the sample conditioning cabinet on a plane surface, free from vibration at a well-ventilated, dry
location and align it using a spirit level. The site of installation must be capable of supporting the unit’s
weight (see technical data, chap. 13.5).
CAUTION
Danger of overheating.
Damage of the unit.
∅
Do NOT set up units in non-ventilated recesses.
¾
Ensure sufficient ventilation for carrying-off the heat.
•
Permissible ambient temperature range: +18 °C to +32 °C. At elevated ambient temperature values,
fluctuations in temperature can occur.
The ambient temperature should not be substantially higher than the indicated ambient
temperature of +20 °C to which the specified technical data relate. In the case of different
ambient conditions, deviations from the indicated data are possible.
With each degree of ambient temperature >20 °C, the refrigeration power decreases by 1.5 K.
•
Permissible ambient humidity: 70 % RH max., non-condensing.
•
Installation height: max. 2000m above sea level.
A water tap (1 bar to 10 bar) with normal tap water (approx. 200 µS/cm to 500 µS/cm, tolerance range
100 µS/cm to 800 µS/cm) is necessary for the installation of the humidification system (chap. 4.1).
Alternatively you can supply water from a pumped water tank, provided that the unit is equipped
accordingly (chap. 4.3). Furthermore, a water drain with descending gradient is required (chap. 4.4).
When placing several units of the same size side by side, maintain a minimum distance of 250 mm
between each unit. Wall distances: rear 100 mm, sides 160 mm. Spacing above the unit of at least
100 mm must also be accounted for.
CAUTION
Danger by stacking.
Damage of the units.
∅
Do NOT place sample conditioning cabinets on top of each other.
