Before you install your Freeze Dryer, you need to prepare your site for installation.
Carefully examine the location where you intend to install your Freeze Dryer. You
must be certain that the area is level and of solid construction. An electrical source
must be located near the installation site.
Carefully read this chapter to learn:
the electrical supply requirements.
the vacuum pump requirements.
Refer to Appendix C: Freeze Dryer Specifications for complete Freeze Dryer
electrical and environmental conditions, specifications and requirements.
Electrical Requirements
The Freeze Dryer requires a dedicated electrical outlet. This outlet requires a 20
Amp circuit breaker or fuse for models rated at 115V (60 Hz). An outlet equipped
with a 15 Amp circuit breaker or fuse is required for models rated at 230V (50/60
Hz). The power cord on 115V models is equipped with a 20 Amp NEMA 5-20P
plug. Various power cord configurations are provided with 230V models. If this
does not match the available receptacle, remove the plug and replace it with an
approved plug of the suitable style.
Location Requirements
The Freeze Dryer should be located in an area that provides an unobstructed flow
of air around the cabinet. This air cools the refrigeration system. The refrigeration
system draws air in through one side and exhausts it through the other side. A
minimum of 3" must be allowed between both sides of the Freeze Dryer and
adjacent wall surfaces. Restriction of airflow during operation could adversely
affect performance.
