4. INSTALLATION
4.1 Location
To obtain the most uniform operating conditions
and results, place the bath in an area remote from
drafts, ventilation outlets, radiators, and other rapidly
changing ambient conditions.
To assure proper ventilation, allow at least 4" clear-
ance between the rear, top, and sides of the unit and
adjacent wall. If two or more units are positioned side-
by-side, allow at least 8" between them.
4.2 Electrical Connections
IMPORTANT : PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.
WARNING:
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPARATUS
MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
CAUTION:
BE SURE THAT THE POWER SUPPLY IS OF
THE SAME VOLTAGE AS SPECIFIED ON THE
NAMEPLATE.
The power cord of this instrument is equipped with
a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard three-prong (grounding) wall receptacle
to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard.
The user should have the wall receptacle and
circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the receptacle is properly grounded. Where a
two-prong receptacle is encountered, it is the
personal responsibility and obligation of the user to
have it replaced with a properly grounded three-
prong receptacle.
WARNING:
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR
REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM
THE POWER CORD. DO NOT USE A TWO-PRONG
ADAPTER PLUG.
Determine the total amount of current presently
being used by other equipment connected to the
circuit that will be used for this unit. It is critical that
the added current demand by this appliance and
other equipment on the circuit not exceed the
rating of the fuse or circuit breaker in use.
5. OPERATION
CAUTION:
EXERCISE CARE WHEN USING ACIDIC OR
CAUSTIC SOLUTIONS AS THEY WILL ATTACK
THE GALVANIZED STEEL BATH BODY IF SPILLED
INTO THE BATH. IF SPILLS DO OCCUR, THE
BATH LIQUID SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY
DRAINED AND THE UNIT THOROUGHLY
FLUSHED. SPILLS AND CONDENSATION SHOULD
BE CLEANED/REMOVED FROM ALL METAL
SURFACES AFTER EACH USE.
5.1 Shelf Placement
Place the stainless steel metal shelf also called
diffuser shelf, (corners facing downward) inside
the bath chamber. The shelf provides a sample
base and protects samples from touching the hot
metal bath bottom.
If it is necessary to increase the height of the
diffuser shelf, a Leg Extension Kit is included for
this purpose. Model 180 (Catalog #'s 51220070 &
51220071) are excluded.
Following the figure shown below, attach the four
extension legs to each of the four corners of the
diffuser shelf.
