Installation & Setup
In order to set up your instrument properly, it is important that
you read and follow the steps in this section. Please follow these
steps carefully and be sure to read Chapter 2 — Instrument
Operation before attempting to run tests on your instrument.
Step 1 — Find a location for the instrument
When choosing a location for your new cryoscope, be sure to
meet the following criteria.
• Adequate space. The dimensions of the instrument are
12.5 × 17.5 × 11.5 inches (32 × 44 × 29 cm). Be sure to
keep your workplace free of debris and allow 6 inches
(15 cm) of clear space on each side of the instrument for
fan-driven air circulation.
• Electric outlet availability. Your instrument will need to
operate within five feet of a properly grounded, three-
prong electrical outlet capable of continuously supplying 2
amperes at 100-240V. If the instrument is not grounded
properly, its operation may be impaired and a safety hazard
may exist. Therefore, be sure to test the outlet and record the
results before operating your instrument.
Step 2 — Obtain additional items
To operate your instrument, you will need to obtain the following
items:
• Soft, no-lint, non-ionic paper tissues for wiping the sample
probe.
