Electrical connection
•
Before connecting the instrument to an AC power outlet, ensure that the AC power of your laboratory
matches the values on the nameplate of the instrument!
•
The minimum rated voltage must be maintained during the startup phase of the cooling system -
! The compressor draws a starting current between 45 and 50 A. Therefore,
the electric circuit at the installation site must be inspected by an electrician to ensure that it meets
the requirements for a smooth operation of the instrument. A stable power supply in accordance with
the instrument's specifications is essential to its proper functioning. Failure to comply with the above
can damage the instrument.
