about local requirements, please contact the appropriate local agency. The end user may perform installation.
Customer service should be contacted for operating conditions outside these limits.
Environmental Conditions
Under normal circumstances these units are intended for use indoors, at room temperatures between 18

and 40

C,
at no greater than 80% relative Humidity (at 25

C) and with a supply voltage that does not vary by more than
10% from the data plate rating. This equipment should not be operated at an altitude exceeding 2000 meters.
Installation category is II, pollution degree 2. Customer service should be contacted for operating conditions outside
of these limits.
Power Source
Check the data plate for voltage, cycle, and ampere requirements. If matched to your power source, plug the power
cord into a grounded outlet.
Voltage should not vary more than ± 10% from the data plate rating.
These units are intended for 50/60-HZ application. A separate circuit is recommended to prevent damage to the unit
due to overloading or circuit failure.
Location
In selecting a location, consider all conditions that might affect performance, such as heat from radiators, ovens,
autoclaves, etc. Avoid direct sun, fast-moving air currents, heating and cooling ducts, and high traffic areas. Allow a
minimum of 10 cm between the unit and any walls or partitions that might obstruct free airflow.
Lifting and Handling
These units can be heavy for some people and care should be taken to use appropriate lifting devices that are
sufficiently rated for these loads. Units should only be lifted from their bottom surfaces. Handles and knobs are not
adequate for lifting or stabilization. The unit should be completely restrained from tipping during lifting or transport.
All moving parts such as trays or covers should be removed during transfer to prevent shifting and damage.
Oscillation Rack
The oscillation rack is installed in the bath when packed for shipping. There is a reciprocating arm that extends from
the motor housing to the rack. An adjustable bearing is at the bath end of the arm that slides over the locking pin at
the top of the rack. This bearing must be in place over the locking pin before the rack will oscillate.
Cleaning and Decontamination
In the event hazardous material is spilled onto or into the equipment appropriate decontamination must be carried
out. If there is any doubt about the compatibility of decontamination or cleaning agents with parts of the equipment or
with material contained, please contact the manufacturer.
Units are cleaned at the factory, but not sterilized. Remove any racks if assembled and clean the bath with a
disinfectant that is suitable for your application. See Maintenance Section for cleaning instructions and precautions.
