Leica CM3600 XP
Approx. 2.7 m
All transport paths for the Leica CM3600 XP must
be at least 1.50 m wide; especially doorways must
have that width. This specification already takes
into account the swivel range of the instrument
when passing through doors (if it is possible to
keep the instrument straight while passing though
doors, a door width of 95 cm is sufficient). The
Leica CM3600 XP has a total length (refrigeration
and control unit and cryochamber) of 2.70 m or,
with the connecting lines on the left side of the
refrigeration and control unit, of approx. 2.80 m,
i.e. a minimum width of the installation wall of
2.90 m is required. Ideally the wall should mea-
sure 3.50 m more to provide easy access to the
left side of the unit for technical service work. The
required minimum distance between the back
panel of the instrument and the wall is 30 cm, the
recommended distance is 50 cm. • The instrument is designed for indoor use only.
• The instrument must be connected to a
grounded socket. Only use the cable provided;
never use an extension cable.
• The power plug and emergency stop switch
must be without obstruction.
• Avoid vibrations, direct sunlight and heavy
variation in temperature.
• Installation elevation up to 2000 m above sea
level.
If possible at all, the room should be air-condi-
tioned. If ambient conditions are not maintained
as specified, instrument performance may be
negatively affected (lowest specified temperature
may not be reached, frost may accumulate).
Installation wall, ideal dimen-
sions (view from above)
• Relative humidity not over 60 % and non-condensing.
• Room temperature consistently between +5 °C and +22 °C.
• Room volume must be at least 30 m
3 .
• The substrate must have sufficient load capacity and rigidity for the weight
of the instrument, 660 kg.
• Do not operate the instrument in rooms with explosion hazard.
High room tempera-
tures and excessive
air humidity affect
the cooling capacity
of the instrument.
