Section III Installation
Site
The unit should be located in a laboratory or clean industrial environment
where ambient temperatures are inside the range of +13°C to +35°C, and
maximum humidity is below 80%.
Never place the unit in a location where excessive heat, moisture, or
corrosive materials are present.
The unit has an air-cooled refrigeration system. Air is drawn through the
front of the unit and discharged through rear and side panels. The unit must
be positioned so the intake and discharge are not impeded. A minimum
clearance of 18 inches (45 centimeters) on all vented sides is necessary for
adequate ventilation. Inadequate ventilation will cause a reduction in cooling
capacity and, in extreme cases, compressor failure.
Excessively dusty areas should be avoided and a periodic cleaning schedule
should be instituted (see Section V, Cleaning).
The unit will retain its full rated capacity at ambient temperatures up to approxi-
mately +24°C. Above +24°C, reduce the cooling capacity 1% for every 0.5°C
above +24°C, up to a maximum ambient temperature of +35°C.
