2-2 Centrifan TM PE Personal Evaporator
2.4 Electrical Requirements
The Centrifan TM PE Personal Evaporator is provided in two versions for either 115VAC
or 230VAC. Both versions operate with 50-60Hz and 200 watts. A label on the rear
panel indicates the version and the user should ensure that the power requirements
match the power provided by the mains.
The AC voltage connection to the system must include an earth ground for operator
safety. The system should not be connected to a power line that is susceptible to
significant changes in power requirements such as a power line that is connected to a
compressor, oven or other source of heat generation. If it is possible that significant
changes in the power may occur, a constant voltage transformer may be required.
The system should not be installed near equipment that generates strong
electromagnetic fields. If the power line is noisy, it may be necessary to install a noise
filter.
These general electrical guidelines are far more applicable to a microprocessor-based
instrument with analog data processing capability; the Centrifan
TM PE, with only a
temperature controller module (performing any analog control functions) should be
immune to all but the most severe power conditions.
2.5 Unpacking the System
The Centrifan TM PE Personal Evaporator and its accessories are shipped in the same
container. Unpack components carefully, making sure all items in the list below have
been included and are in good condition. Save the container and packing material for
convenient and secure relocation of the instrument.
