1. Safety precautions
Warning・Cautions
Warning
Never operate the unit in an atmosphere containing flammable or explosive gas.
Otherwise, an explosion or a fire may result since the unit is not explosion-proof.
See section “13. List of dangerous materials” on page 41.
Be sure to connect the ground wire correctly. Otherwise, electrical leak may result and cause
an electrical shock or a fire.
When smoke or an unusual odor is seen or smelled, immediately turn the ground fault
interrupter on the main unit off and pull out the power plug. A fire or an electrical shock may
result.
When these are used bundled, they might overheat causing a fire.
Avoid tightly bending, pulling with a strong force or twisting to prevent electrical power cords
from damage. A fire or an electrical shock may result.
Never operate the unit in an atmosphere containing flammable or explosive gas
Be sure to connect the ground wire.

2. Before operating the unit
Precautions when installing the unit
4. Secure sufficient ventilation for the unit.
Do not operate the unit when its vent holes on the side and rear panels are covered or
blocked.
Internal temperature of the unit will rise, degrading the performance, and an accident, a
malfunction or a fire may result.
5. Do not operate the unit at such a place that may subject to splashing liquids.
Do not operate the unit at such a place that may subject to splashing liquids. Liquid
entering the inside may cause an accident, a malfunction, an electrical shock or a fire.
6. Never operate the unit in an atmosphere containing flammable or explosive
gas.
Never operate the unit in an atmosphere containing flammable or explosive gas. Since the
unit is not explosion-proof, an arc is discharged when switching the circuit breaker “ON” and
“OFF” and during operation, could cause a fire or an explosion.
See the section “13. List of dangerous materials” on page 41 for flammable and explosive
gases.

Precautions when installing the unit
7. Be sure to connect the pow er plug to the dedicated power distribution panel or
a wall outlet.
Use a power distribution panel or a wall outlet that meets the electrical capacity of the unit.
Electrical
capacity:
＊ When the unit will not start even when you turn the ground fault interrupter to “ON”,
check for low main voltage or if the unit is connected to the same power supply line
as other devices and connect it to another line if necessary.
Avoid connecting too many devices using a branching outlet or extending a wire with a cord reel
or temperature controlling function may degrade due to voltage drop.
Do not connect the unit to a gas pipe, a water pipe or a telephone line or any parts or lines,
other than a correct power supply line.
Otherwise, an accident or a malfunction may result.
8. Handling of a power cord
Never use electrical power cords bundled. When these are used bundled, they might
overheat causing a fire.
IC103C/103W VAC115 1.8A
IC403C/403CW VAC115 2.8A
IC603C VAC115 3.7A

IC413C/413CW VAC220 1.4A
IC613C VAC220 1.8A
IC813C VAC220 3.3A
Do not convert, forcibly bend, twist or pull the power cord. Otherwise, a fire or an electrical
shock may result.
Do not place the power cord under a desk or a chair, or sandwich between objects to avoid
it from being damaged. Otherwise, a fire or an electrical shock may result.
Do not place the power cord close to a stove or other heat generating device. Sheath of
the cord may burn and result in a fire or an electrical shock.
If the power cord should be damaged (exposure of core wire or disconnection), immediately
turn the power switch off, pull out the power cord (plug) out of the power supply and ask
your dealer to replace the cord. Otherwise, a fire or an electrical shock may result.
Connect the power cord to an appropriate wall outlet.
9. Be sure to connect the ground wire.
・ When the unit has no ground terminal, class D grounding work is necessary and please
consult your dealer or our nearest sales office.
・ Securely connect to an outlet.
We recommend use of a ground type outlet
tap.

(1) Transportation of the product
・
Lift and transport the model IC403C/403CW/413C/413CW/603C/613C by at least two people.
*Take care for protrusions on the unit.
・Move the model IC803C after push two
stoppers up to unlock the casters on the
front side of the main unit as shown in
the figure right. Make sure casters at
the four points move smoothly before
trying to move the unit.
* Note that moving the unit over a bump
may give an excessive impact to and
break the casters. Where there is
such a bump, move the unit by lifting it
by at least two people.
(2) Select an installation site.
Make sure that four caster wheels for right, left, front and rear securely rest on a flat
surface as well as there is no loosened part or inclination of the unit and push down the
caster stopper to lock for the model IC803C.
(3) Install shelf boards.
・The lowest shelf board has been secured with screws at the time of shipping from the
factory.

Installation procedures・precautions
・Install shelf pegs at heights you want on the right and left shelf posts in the internal
chamber of the main body.
・Completely push shelf boards by sliding to the end.
*Take care to put each shelf board on correct pairs of right and left shelf pegs.
・Make sure that shelf boards will not fall nor rattle.
・Withstand load of each shelf board is 15kg in even loading. When putting samples,
arrange them as dispersed as possible.
・ Put samples with spaces between them. Too many samples may prevent proper
temperature control. To assure proper temperature control, put samples with a space at
least 30% of the shelf board area.

(4) Do not put a sample on the bottom of the internal chamber.
・Operating the unit with a sample directly put on the bottom of the internal chamber might
degrade its temperature characteristics. Also it may cause corrosion, damage or rusting
of the internal chamber and burning of samples or a fire. Never put any sample on the
bottom surface.
・When putting samples, take care not to allow them touching the wall, where sensor or other
devices are installed. Put samples on the shelf board included with the unit.

(5) Take special care for samples shown below:
①Samples that contain flammable or explosive components
・The unit is not explosion proof. Never attempt to dry or process materials that contain
flammable or explosive components.
②Corrosive samples
・Take care for handling of corrosive samples. Although stainless steel is used for major
components, note that they might corrode with strong acid. Note that packing may
corrode with acid, alkali, oil or organic solvents.
③Operation with devices with a larger heat load installed.
・Note that temperature in the chamber may rise when operating the unit within a device.
(6) About exhaust ports.
