INSTALLATION AND WORKING CONDITIONS
Package handling
•
Please inspect the package and contact the shipper if the package has serious damage.
•
Please place the instrument on a stable surface after taking it out from the wooden box.
•
Do not place the instrument in an environment near explosive or flammable material.
•
If the instrument may need to be transported again, we suggest using the original packaging
materials.
Installation
•
The instrument is a movable floor type with 4 caster wheels. Two front wheels can be adjusted
up and down by turning the knobs on the foot, which should be used only when the instrument
needs to be moved. After the package is opened, put the front wheels on the ground and
move it to the working location; lock the front wheels to secure the instrument.
•
Avoid obstruction around the instrument and leave a space at least 12 in wide on both sides
as well as the back of the instrument to facilitate ventilation and heat dispersion.
•
The instrument can be used after it is kept standing still for at least 2 hours.
•
Please ensure the grounding wire of the 3-line power is securely connected before starting the
instrument, which must comply with the GB9706.1 standard. Please ensure the socket is
stable before connecting it and turning on the power switch.
•
Insert the supplied power cord into the power socket and then connect the power cord to the
mains supply.
•
Install the blade holder if necessary.
•
Close the heated window.
•
Turn on the power switch.
•
Program all settings if necessary.
•
For the first time use, the default setting of the blade holder and specimen head temperature
are -15°C.
•
The cooling phase will take approximately 1 to 1.5 hours depending on the preset
cryochamber temperature.
No other instruments should be connected to the circuit used for the cryostat, as the
compressor needs high surge currents when started. Do not use multi-socket power
outlets with small wire sizes for the supply of the instrument.
