Keep at least 20 cm of open space on the front and rear venting

Caution:

Ferrous water can cause corrosion - even on stainless steel.

5. Preparations

5.1. Installation

• Place the unit on an even surface on a pad made of non- flammable material.

F34: 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.

• 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 refri gerant is specified o n the ty p e pl at e. > For 0.25 kg of refrigerant R134a, a room space of 1 m > For 0.52 kg of refrigerant R404A, a room space of 1 m > For 0.49 kg of refrigerant R507, a room space of 1 m

is required.

• Set selector dial for cooling machine (19) in position "1" for operation with MA circulator.

• grids.

• Do not set up the unit in the immediate vicinity of heat sources and do not expose to sun light

(only F25, F34)

• 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.

Only water cooled models:

Ensure circulation of cooling water by connecting the tubing to cooling water inlet and outlet on the rear of the refrigerated circulator.

• Cooling water connecter G¾"

• Cooling water see page 22

5.2. Bath fluids

Carefully read the safety data sheet of the bath fluid used, particularly wi th regard to the fire point!

If a bath fluid with a fire point of ≤65 °C is used, only superv ised operation is possible.

Water: The quality of water depends on local conditions.

• Due to the high concentration of lime, hard water is not suitable for temperature control because it leads to calcification in the bath.

•

• Chloric water can cause pitting corrosion.
