Reciprocal Shaking Water Baths
5-1
Thermo Scientific
Installation
Warning
Installation should be completed by qualified personnel only.
▲
Location - The most uniform operating conditions will be obtained by placing
the bath on a level surface in an area remote from drafts, ventilating outlets,
radiators, and other rapidly changing ambient conditions.
Environmental Conditions - This instrument is designed to operate safely under
the following conditions:
• Indoor Use Only
• Temperature: 5° to 40° C
• Maximum Relative Humidity: 80% for temperatures to 22°C
• Maximum Altitude 2000 meters
• Mains supply voltage fluctuation ±10, or per project plan
• Installation (Overvoltage) category II, Pollution Degree 2
Maximum performance is assured across the following temperature range:
• 15°C to 45°C
1 Installation category (overvoltage category) defines the level of transient overvoltage
which the instrument is designed to withstand safely. It depends on the nature of the
electricity supply and its overvoltage protection means. For example, in CAT II which is
the category used for instruments in installations supplied from a supply comparable to
public mains such as hospital and research laboratories and most industrial laboratories,
the expected transient overvoltage is 2500V for a 230V supply and 1500V for a 120V
supply.
2 Pollution Degree describes the amount of conductive pollution present in the operating
environment. Pollution Degree 2 assumes that normally only non-conductive
pollution such as dust occurs with the exception of occasional conductivity caused
by condensation.
