Installation
The FTS Systems CharpyCool™ is designed for bench-top installation in a laboratory
environment. The unit should be installed on a firm, level surface in a location that is
convenient for both operation and service.
NEVER PLACE THE UNIT IN AN AREA WHERE EXCESSIVE HEAT, MOISTURE OR CORROSIVE
MATERIALS ARE PRESENT.
Air Flow Considerations
The FTS Systems CharpyCool™ is equipped with an air-cooled refrigeration system.
Air is pulled from the left side of the unit to cool the refrigeration system components
and then exits the rear panel. When positioning your system, ensure that it is located
on a firm, level surface in an area that provides adequate air circulation.
Inadequate airflow will degrade the unit’s cooling capacity and in extreme cases may
result in compressor failure. A minimum of six (6) inches of clearance on all sides of
the unit is required to ensure proper airflow and avoid damage to the refrigeration
system.
Ambient Conditions
For best low-temperature operation, consider that the ideal ambient temperature for
your FTS Systems CharpyCool™ is approximately 72 °F (22 °C). Higher ambient
temperatures will limit the system’s ability to achieve its ultimate low temperature.
NEVER OPERATE THE FTS SYSTEMS CHARPYCOOL™ IN AN AREA WITH AN AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE ABOVE 90 °F (32 °C).
Services and Utilities
The FTS Systems CharpyCool™’s serial tag, which is located on the unit’s back
panel, provides the unit serial number, and electrical requirements. Ensure that the
voltage, phase, frequency and amperage listed on the serial tag match your facility’s
available power supply (e.g., as a minimum the power outlet you intend to use must
meet the requirements listed on the serial tag).
CAUTION! IF YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT THE AVAILABLE ELECTRICAL VOLTAGE SUPPLY IN
YOUR FACILITY, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Prior to connecting your FTS Systems CharpyCool™ to the available electrical supply,
ensure that the Main Power switch is in the Off position. You may connect the unit to
the available electrical supply at this time.
