3.4 Location of installation and ambient conditions
Set up the constant climate chamber on a flat, even surface and in a well-ventilated, dry location and
align it using a spirit level. The site of installation must be capable of supporting the unit’s weight (see
technical data, chap. 21.4). The chambers are designed for setting up inside a building (indoor use).
CAUTION
Danger of overheating.
Damage to the unit.
∅
Do NOT set up unit in non-ventilated recesses.
 Ensure sufficient ventilation for dispersal of the heat.
• 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. For other ambient condi-
tions, deviations from the indicated data are possible.
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) is necessary for the installation of the humidification system (chap. 4.3). If no
suitable house water connection is available, you can manually supply water by filling the freshwater can
(option, chap. 17.9).
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 be-
tween each unit. Wall distances: rear 100 mm, sides 160 mm. Spacing above the unit of at least 100 mm
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.
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).
