5.1 Installation site

DANGER

Death or serious injuries when used in explosive environments.

• Do not store or operate the instrument in explosive environments

• Remove all sources of ﬂammable vapors

• Do not store chemicals in the vicinity of the device

Put the instrument onto a clean, stable and horizontal surface. Consider the maximum product dimen-

sions and weight. Obtain the environmental conditions as described in section 3.1, technical data.

Installation pre-requisites and installation steps:

• Do not place any objects in front of or behind the instrument.

• The instrument must have a clearance of 40 cm between itself and the wall, both in front and

behind (sufﬁcient cooling).

• Do not place containers, chemicals or other items behind the instrument.

• Do not place anything on top of the Recirculating Chiller.

NOTE

• After transport, wait at least 1 hour before switching on the chiller! Within this time the refrigerant

gathers in the compressor, avoiding damage of the compressor.

• To ensure that the power can be cut by unplugging in case of an emergency, the mains plug

must not be blocked by the instruments or any other items!

• Depending on the environmental conditions, condensation water at the cooling tubes and all other

cold surfaces of the instruments can collect!
