1. Install the shelf bracket at the selected height by inserting it into appropriate slots on the chamber
wall.
2. Install the second shelf bracket on the opposite chamber wall.
3. Slide the shelf into the shelf brackets.
4. The shelf is now correctly installed!
To remove a shelf, perform the above steps in reverse order. To remove the slide from the slots, lift it up and
move it towards the rear of the chamber.
3.2. Condensation in the chamber
Water may gather on the bottom of the chamber, as a result of condensation from water vapor if set tem-
perature is considerably lower than the ambient temperature.
The amount of water depends on the following factors:
-
Differences between ambient and set temperatures
-
Frequency of door openings
-
Temperature of samples
Do not use any cardboard boxes, sponges and other hygroscopic materials for storing the samples since
they may increase the relative humidity in the chamber.
The unit has also been equipped with a drain for condensation water which may come from the modules of
Peltier radiators. This drain is positioned behind the fan plate. The condensation water is collected in a con-
densate collection tray, which is reachable from the backside of the instrument. This collection tray is
equipped with a heating element, which evaporates the collected condensation water.
3.3. Placement of samples
To provide proper air circulation and stable conditions within the chamber, it is necessary to adhere to the
following rules:
-
the max height of the samples should not exceed 2/3 of the shelf space
-
the samples should be placed so that the space between the containers does not exceed 1/3 of the
width and height of the shelf
-
samples should be placed with equal spacing between each other and the chamber walls
If water gathers, use a dry cloth to wipe the bottom of the chamber.
