Chapter 2 – Installation 

 

Uncrating 

 

 

Inspect the shipping container for any signs of visible damage. Notify the carrier and TestEquity 

immediately if there are signs of shipping damage. 

 

The pallet is designed with ramps so the chamber can be rolled off without the need for a forklift 

or pallet jack.  

 

Preparation For Use 

 

 

1.

 

Inspect the chamber for signs of shipping damage. 

2.

 

Read this entire manual. 

3.

 

Select a suitable location to install the chamber. 

4.

 

Verify the input voltage configuration. 

5.

 

Connect to the power source. 

6.

 

Perform following the procedures as described in the Preventive Maintenance section: 

a.  Inspect the electrical compartment. 

b.  Inspect the refrigeration machinery compartment. 

c.  Check the low-stage refrigeration charge. 

e.  Verify the chamber performance. 

 

Installation Location 

 

 

The chamber will produce a significant amount of heat during normal operation. Locate the 

chamber in a room with adequate ventilation to prevent excessive heat build-up. Allow enough 

space around the chamber to permit serviceability and the removal of the service access panels, 

which are located on each side and the rear. 

 

The chamber must be on a solid and level floor. 

 

!

 

CAUTION:

  The minimum clearance you should allow for proper ventilation around the 

chamber must be at least 12" from both the left and right side, and 24" from 

the rear.

 

 

!

 

CAUTION:

  This chamber is designed for operation in a conditioned laboratory 

environment. Operation above 30°C (85°F) or below 16°C (60°F) ambient 

room temperature is NOT recommended.
