5. Preparations
5.1. Installation
 Place the unit on an even surface on a pad made of non-flammable
material.
Using the castors move the unit to the intended location.
 The place of installation should be large enough and provide
sufficient air ventilation to ensure the room does not warm up
excessively because of the heat the instrument radiates to the
environment. (Max. permissible ambient temperature: 40 °C).
With regard to a disturbance in the cooling loop (leakage), the
guideline EN 378 prescribes a certain room space to be available for
each kg of refrigerant.
The necessary amount of refrigerant is specified on the type plate
> For 0.52 kg of refrigerant R404A, a room space of 1 m
3 is required.
 F38-ME: The circulator fitted with a stainless steel bridge is placed on
on the back of the bath tank leaving the bath open on the front side.
 Keep at least 20 cm of open space on the front and rear venting
grids.
 Do not set up the unit in the immediate vicinity of heat sources and
do not expose to sun light
 Before operating the unit after transport, wait about one hour after
setting it up. This will allow any oil that has accumulated laterally
during transport to flow back down thus ensuring maximum cooling
performance of the compressor.
