INSTALLATION
Local city, county, or other ordinances may govern the use of this equipment. If you have
any questions about local requirements, please contact the appropriate local agency.
Installation may be performed by the end user.
Under normal circumstances this unit is intended for use indoors, at room temperatures
between 5
 and 40C, at no greater than 80% Relative Humidity (at 25C) and with a
supply voltage that does not vary by more than 10%. Customer service should be
contacted for operating conditions outside of these limits.
5.1 Location: In selecting a location, consider all conditions that might affect
performance, such as heat from radiators, ovens, autoclaves, etc. Avoid direct
sun, fast-moving air currents, heating/cooling ducts and high-traffic areas. Allow a
minimum of 5cm between the unit and walls or partitions that might obstruct free
airflow.
5.2
Power Source: Check the data plate for voltage, cycle, phase and ampere
requirements. If matched to your power source, plug the power cord into a
grounded outlet. VOLTAGE SHOULD NOT VARY MORE THAN 10% FROM THE
DATA PLATE RATING. These units are intended for 50/60Hz applications. A
separate circuit is recommended to preclude loss of product due to overloading or
circuit failure. NOTE: Electrical supply to the unit must conform to all national and
local electrical codes.
5.3
Lifting / Handling: These units are heavy and care should be taken to use
appropriate lifting devices that are sufficiently rated for these loads. Units should
only be lifted from their bottom surfaces. Doors, handles and knobs are not
adequate for lifting or stabilization. The unit should be completely restrained from
tipping during lifting or transport. All moving parts, such as shelves and trays
should be removed and doors need to be positively locked in the closed position
during transfer to prevent shifting and damage.
5.4 Leveling: The unit must sit level and solidly. Leveling feet are supplied and must
be installed in the four holes in the bottom corners of the unit. With the feet installed
and the unit standing upright, each foot can be raised by turning it in a
counterclockwise direction. Adjust the foot at each corner until the unit stands level
and solid without rocking. If the unit must be moved, turn the leveling feet all the
way clockwise to prevent damage while moving.
