3 INSTALLATION
GEN1000 units must be placed in ventilated areas. The ideal temperature around the
equipment is 70°F (21°C). Although it will perform at higher ambient temperatures, it is
recommended that the product be placed in areas that have circulating air.
3.1 Install the Chamber
Install the chamber in a dry, well-ventilated area with circulating air and maintain the operating
environment between a minimum temperature of 59°F (15°C) and a maximum temperature of
95°F (35°C).
The GEN1000 chambers dissipate up to 2600W to ambient with the dehumidification option,
and up to 2100W without dehumidification.
Locate the chamber on a relatively level floor so that adjustments can be made with the levelers
to ensure the chamber is level.
3.1.1 Chamber Clearance
At least 1 ft. (300mm) must be left clear behind the back wall of the chamber.
At least 1 ft. (300mm) must be left clear above the chamber.
At least 4″ (102mm) must be left clear on each side of the chamber in order to provide
access to the instrumentation, fresh air, and exhaust ports.
3.1.2 Power Supply
Refer to Section 8 Technical Specifications on page 55 for details of the power configuration.
This unit will tolerate ±10% voltage fluctuation from the rated voltage on the serial plate. Use a
voltage stabilizer if the fluctuation is greater than ±10%.
It is important to ensure that the room in which the chamber is placed adheres to
these environmental conditions.
Failure to install overcurrent protection if fluctuation greater than 10% is detected can
result in serious damage to the compressor and electronic components, and will void
the warranty.
The overcurrent protection must be sized and installed by a qualified electrician.
