3.4 Location of installation and ambient conditions
Set up the cooling incubator KB on a flat, even surface, free from vibration, in a well-ventilated, dry
location and align it using a spirit level. The site of installation must be capable of supporting the unit’s
weight (see technical data, chap. 20.4). The chambers are designed for setting up inside a building
(indoor use).
CAUTION
Danger of overheating.
Damage to the unit.
∅
Do NOT set up units in non-ventilated recesses.
 Ensure sufficient ventilation for dispersal of the heat.
• Permissible ambient temperature range during operation: +18 °C / 64.4°F to +32 °C / 89.6°F. At
elevated ambient temperature values, fluctuations in temperature can occur.
The ambient temperature should not be substantially higher than the indicated ambient
temperature of +25 °C / 77°F to which the specified technical data relates. Deviations from the
indicated data are possible for other ambient conditions.
With each degree of ambient temperature > +25 °C / 77°F, the refrigeration power decreases
by 1.5 K.
• Permissible ambient humidity: 70 % r.H. max., non-condensing.
When operating the chamber at temperature set-points below ambient temperature, high ambient
humidity may lead to condensation on the unit.
•
Installation height: max. 2000 m / 6.6 ft. above sea level.
When placing several units of the same size side by side, maintain a minimum distance of 250 mm / 9.84
in between each unit. Wall distances: rear 100 mm / 3.94 in, sides 160 mm / 6.29 in. Spacing above the
unit of at least 100 mm / 3.94 in must also be maintained.
Two KB (E3.1) units size 23, 53 or 115 of the same size can be piled on top of each other. For this
purpose place rubber pads under every foot of the upper unit to prevent the device from slipping.
CAUTION
Sliding or tilting of the upper unit.
Damage to the units.

When stacking, place rubber pads under every foot of the upper unit.
 Stack only units of the same size..
KB (E5.1) units size 240, 400 und 720 must NOT be stacked.
CAUTION
Danger by stacking.
Damage to the units.
∅
Do NOT place the cooling incubators on top of each other.
To completely separate the unit from the power supply, you must disconnect the power plug. Install the
unit in a way that the power plug is easily accessible and can be easily pulled in case of danger.
For the user there is no risk of temporary overvoltages in the sense of EN 61010-1:2010.
