Preliminary Cleaning
Your new environmental chamber was thoroughly cleaned prior to leaving the factory.
It is recommended however, to disinfect all interior surfaces with a general purpose
laboratory cleaning agent prior to using the product. After cleaning, dry all interior
components with a sterile cloth as necessary.
Installing the Port Stoppers
The unit has an access port built into each side of the cabinet. The ports are designed
to allow customer access for equipment validation and for installation of other
equipment inside the chamber. These ports should be sealed with the provided rubber
stoppers to allow the chamber to function properly. Install the stoppers provided in the
port on each side of the unit.
Installing the Shelves
Each new environmental chamber includes four or five perforated stainless steel
shelves. Each shelf requires two shelf channels for installation. The left and right shelf
tracks are the same. Prior to installation, take time to consider what the size of the
product being placed in the chamber will be and set the shelf spacing accordingly.
Additional shelving can be purchased through CARON customer service if necessary.
To install the shelf channels insert the rear tab on the shelf channel into the rear wall
on the side wall of the chamber. Then insert the front tab into the front pilaster. Push
the entire shelf channel towards the rear of the unit and snap it down into place.
Each shelf is capable of supporting a uniformly
distributed load of 50 pounds. The maximum
chamber capacity is 500 pounds (stationary). An
optional re-enforced floor is available for heavy loads.
Chamber should be empty when being moved.
Do not have multiple loaded shelves out
simultaneously or the chamber may tip.
