Unpacking
Optima low temperature circulators provide a source of cooling for many sensitive
analytical procedures. Applications requiring the precision temperature control of
samples include spectrophotometry, viscometry, refractrometry and electrophoresis.
Grant’s range of more powerful chillers are ideally suited for applications requiring the
removal of the mechanical or electrical heat produced in apparatus or machinery,
combined with a higher pressure flow for faster heat removal within restricted systems.
Remove packing materials carefully, and retain for future shipment or storage of the unit.
Packs should contain:

Installation
To avoid condensation on internal components, allow the unit to reach room temperature
before switching it on.
Let the unit stand in its intended working position for 6 hours before switching on. This is
to allow the oil to drain to the bottom of the compressor.
Position the equipment so that there is free air flow through it. Allow at least 100mm
clearance from obstructions on all sides.
