14 Instructions for use V 1.5 – 10/2012
4.1 Site requirements
Do not operate in rooms with explosion hazard! To ensure an ad-
equate cooling capacity, the instrument must be set up with at
least 10 cm distance from walls and furniture.
• The place of installation must meet the following requirements:
– no direct sunlight,
– mains power socket at a distance no greater than approximately 1.5 m,
– no drafts (air condition outlets, etc.) directly over the instrument,
– even floor,
– mainly vibration-free floor,
– obstruction-free access to the handwheel,
– room temperature max. 35 °C,
– Air humidity must not exceed 60 %.
High room temperatures and excessive air humidity affect the
cooling capacity of the cryostat.
4.2 Transport to the desired location

The instrument must be transported in an upright position only.
When the instrument is tilted, the compressor oil is displaced.
Do not grip the cabinet at the lid. Grip the cabinet only at the
marked locations ( ).
