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.

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. The chamber
generates a heat load of up to 27,500 BTUH during a continuous cool down from a high
temperature.
The chamber must be on a solid and level floor. 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.
!
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.
