Section Five – Installation
Location
Environment
The media tank temperature must exceed ambient room temperature by at least 5°C for
maximum performance of the temperature control system. Therefore, for best results, the
ambient temperature should not be allowed to exceed 32°C (90°F) for 37°C tests, or 27°C
(81°F) for 32°C tests.
Easy access to a water source and waste disposal for filling and emptying of the waterbath is
convenient, although not necessary.
Space
The Media-Mate Plus System is designed to be mobile up to 6.25m (20 ft). The laboratory floor
should be level and flat to prevent the Instrument from moving when left unattended.
Electrical
The Media-Mate Plus System requires a single, grounded electrical outlet, within 5.63 m (18 ft)
of the location of the Instrument.
The Instrument is available in two configurations, 115VAC and 230VAC. The voltages are set
at the factory and cannot be changed (see model number label on control interface panel next
to fuses to determine voltage). The electrical requirements are summarized in
Section 3
of this
operation manual.
Unpacking
The Media-Mate Plus is shipped fully assembled in one box. The shipping box is specifically
designed to provide maximum shipping protection and to facilitate unpacking. The shipping
box consists of a lower cardboard tray secured to a pallet with a large box placed over the
Instrument. The upper box is strapped to the lower tray and pallet.
NOTE:
Shortages or damages must be reported immediately to the freight carrier and to Hanson
Research. Notify Hanson Research by telephone (818) 882-7266 or FAX (818) 882-
9470.
