6.2 Site requirements
Do not operate in rooms with explosion haz-
ard!
To ensure an adequate cooling capacity, the
instrument has to be set up with at least 10
cm distance from walls and furniture.
Do not place anything next to the compressor
ventilation grids to ensure adequate ventila-
tion at all times!
The place of installation must meet the following re-
quirements:
• No direct sunlight,
• Mains power socket at a distance no greater than
the length of the power cord (length approximately
4 meters) - do not use an extension cord,
• No drafts (air condition outlets, etc.) directly over
the instrument,
• Even surface,
• Mainly vibration-free floor,
• Obstruction-free access to the handwheels,
• Room temperature always below 22 °C,
• Air humidity must not exceed 60%.
High room temperatures and excessive air
humidity affect the cooling capacity of the cry-
ostat.
6.3 Transport to the installation site
The instrument must be transported in an up-
right position only, or at an angle of max. 30 °!
Do not carry or reposition the instrument by
holding it at parts of the housing or at the

pression provided in the center of the wheel!
