UNPACKING: 

 
Remove the equipment from the packing material, and check that the delivery is complete. Delivery 
should include the following: 

  1 x Temperature and humidity cabinet. 

  Stainless steel open wire type shelves (TCH-150 = 2 shelves, TCH-460 = 4 shelves). 

  1 x Hose connection fitting. 

  1 x Operating manual. 

  1 x Perspex holder. 

Optional extras: These items could be included as part of the packing list if ordered: 

  Water supply bottle (25 litre bottle complete with hose connection fittings). 

  1 x 4 pin plug for retransmission connection.

LOCATION AND SERVICES REQUIRED: 

 
This section deals with the provision and connection of services that will be required for your 
cabinet to function properly, and advice on where to locate the cabinet. 
 

GENERAL: 

 
The equipment is designed to operate under the following ambient conditions: 

  Indoor use only. 

  Ambient temperature range: 10ºC to 35ºC 

  Ambient humidity range: Maximum relative humidity of 85%RH for temperatures up to 25ºC 

  Optimum performance of the chamber is achieved within ambient temperatures of 20ºC to 

25ºC range, and 45%RH to 55%RH. The cabinet can be used outside these ranges but 
performance levels will be affected. Eg: If ambient temperature levels are high (above 
30ºC), the attainable temperature and humidity levels inside the cabinet will be limited.
