•
Permissible ambient temperature range during operation: +18 °C / 64.4 °F to +32 °C / 89.6 °F. At
elevated ambient temperature values, fluctuations in temperature can occur.
The ambient temperature should not be substantially higher than the indicated ambient tem-
perature of +25 °C / 77 °F to which the specified technical data relate. Deviations from the
indicated data are possible for other ambient conditions.
With each degree of ambient temperature >25 °C / 77 °F, the refrigeration power decreases
by 1.5 K.
• Permissible ambient humidity: 70 % r.H. max., non-condensing
When operating the chamber at temperature set-points below ambient temperature, high ambient humidi-
ty may lead to condensation on the unit.
•
Installation height: max. 2000 m above sea level.
A water tap (1 bar to 10 bar / 14.5 to 145 PSI) is necessary for the installation of the humidification sys-
tem (chap. 4.3). If no suitable in-house water connection is available, you can manually supply water by
filling the freshwater can (option, chap. 15.9).
To avoid any possible water damage, provide a floor drain at the location of the device. Select
a suitable installation site to avoid any consequential damage by splashing water.
When placing several units of the same size side by side, maintain a minimum distance of 250 mm / 9.84
in between each unit. Wall distances: rear 100 mm / 3.94 in, sides 160 mm / 6.29 in. Spacing above the
unit of at least 100 mm / 3.94 in, must also be accounted for.
CAUTION
Danger by stacking.
Damage to the units.
∅
Do NOT place constant climate chambers on top of each other.
To completely separate the unit from the power supply, you must disconnect the power plug. Install the
unit in a way that the power plug is easily accessible and can be easily pulled in case of danger.
For the user there is no risk of temporary overvoltages in the sense of EN 61010-1:2010.
With an increased amount of dust in the ambient air, clean the condenser fan (by suction or blowing)
several times a year.
Avoid any conductive dust in the ambiance according to the unit layout complying with pollution degree 2
(IEC 61010-1).
Do not install or operate the constant climate chamber KBF / KBF P in potentially explosive areas.
DANGER
Explosion hazard.
Danger of death.
∅
Do NOT operate the unit in potentially explosive areas.
 KEEP explosive dust or air-solvent mixtures AWAY from the vicinity of the unit.
After turning off the unit, you must close the tap of the water supply. Install the unit in a way that the
freshwater supply is easily accessible.
