INSTALLATION
Local city, county or other ordinances may govern the use of this equipment. If
you have any questions about local requirements, please contact the appropriate
local agency. Installation may be performed by the end user.
Under normal circumstances this unit is intended for use indoors, at room
temperatures between 5° and 40°C, at no greater than 80% Relative Humidity (at
25°C) and with a supply voltage that does not vary by more than 10%. Customer
service should be contacted for operating conditions outside of these limits.
This unit should remain upright for 24 hours prior to powering up. This will
allow the oil to settle in the refrigeration compressor.
2.1 Power Source: The electrical supply circuit to the incubator must conform
to all national and local electrical codes. Consult the incubator’s serial data
plate for the voltage, cycle wattage and ampere requirements before
making connection. VOLTAGE SHOULD NOT VARY MORE THAN 10%
FROM THE SERIAL PLATE RATING. This unit is intended for 50/60 Hz
application. A separate circuit is recommended to prevent possible loss of
product due to overloading or failure of other equipment on the same
circuit.
2.2 Location: When selecting a site for the incubator, consider all conditions
which may affect performance, such as extreme heat from steam radiators,
stoves, ovens autoclaves, etc. Avoid direct sun, fast-moving air currents,
heating/cooling ducts and high traffic areas. To ensure air circulation
around the unit allow a minimum of 20cm between incubator rear and sides
and any walls, partitions or obstructions to free airflow.
2.3 Lifting / Handling: These units are heavy and care should be taken to
use appropriate lifting devices that are sufficiently rated for these loads.
Units should only be lifted from their bottom surfaces. Doors, handles and
knobs are not adequate for lifting or stabilization. The unit should be
completely restrained from tipping during lifting or transport. All moving
parts, such as shelves and trays should be removed and doors need to be
positively locked in the closed position during transfer to prevent shifting
and damage.
