4.2 Installation site requirements

The installation site has to fulfill the following

conditions:

• Stable and plane installation surface.

• Minimum installation surface dimensions:

850 x 850 mm,

• Room temperature consistently between +5 °C

and +40 °C,

• Relative humidity should not exceed 80%.

Necessary conditions for electrical connection
- Grounded wall outlet near enough so it can

be reached with the power cable supplied

together with the instrument.

780 mm

820 mm

Because of the quantity of solvents

used for processing specimens and the

solvent concentrations that build up,

we recommend installing instrument

versions without a fume control system

or active carbon filter in the labora-

tory's fume hood.

The instrument may not be operated in

hazardous locations.

If you wish to install the basket holder

for a second tissue basket, you should

do that now.
