5. Connect to a 120 VAC, 60 Hz power source with a minimum 15 Amp breaker.
6. Perform following the procedure “How to verify the chamber performance” in the
Maintenance chapter of this manual to make sure that no damage has occurred in shipment.
Installation Location
The chamber will produce a moderate amount of heat during normal operation. Locate the
chamber in an area with adequate ventilation to prevent excessive heat build-up. The chamber
must be on a solid and level surface that is rated to hold at least 100 pounds.
2 WARNING: The power cord is equipped with a NEMA 5-15P grounded/polarized plug. To
prevent a shock hazard, DO NOT defeat the ground or polarization feature.
This device MUST be plugged into a properly grounded and polarized outlet.
! CAUTION: The minimum clearance you should allow for proper ventilation must be at
least 12" from the rear of the chamber.
! CAUTION: This chamber is designed for operation in a conditioned laboratory
environment. Operation above 30°C (85°F) or below 16°C (60°F) ambient
room temperature is NOT recommended.
