INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
H IGH A LTITUDE L OCATIONS
BACTRONEZ anaerobic workstations are equipped with two (2) digital vacuum controller - display
units that control the atmospheric cycling operations of the pass box and the vacuum pump line
pressure. These units are calibrated at the factory at an altitude of 179 feet (54.5m) above sea
level, and read gauge pressure rather than absolute pressure. Altitudes around 6500 feet (2000m)
or higher may affect the operation of the vacuum system, depending on ambient conditions. If the
vacuum pump runs continuously or near continuously when installed at a high altitude location,
contact
Sheldon Technical Support (see page 6) for assistance in adjusting the vacuum gauge
settings.
P OWER S OURCE
Always position the workstation so that the users have access to the power cord and can quickly
unplug it in the event of an emergency.
When choosing a location for the BACTRONEZ check that the voltage and ampere requirements
on the workstation’s data plate match those of your wall source. The source must be an earth
grounded outletThe supplied voltage must not vary more than 10% from the data plate rating.
Damage to the workstation may result if supplied voltage varies more than 10%. Each
BACTRONEZ workstation is provided with a 110
– 120VAC 8ft (2.5m) 5-15 NEMA power cord.
These incubators are intended for a 50/60 Hz, 110 - 120 volt applications at the 9 Amps
Use a separate circuit to prevent loss of the unit due to overloading or circuit failure.
Note: Electrical supply to the BACTRONEZ must conform to all national and local electrical codes.
