4.3 Storage
Intermediate storage of the unit is possible in a closed and dry room. Respect the advice for temporal
decommissioning (chap. 11.2).
• Permissible ambient temperature range: -10°C to +60°C.
• Permissible ambient humidity: max. 70 % r.H., non-condensing
If following storage in a cold location the unit is transferred to the installation site for start-up,
condensation is possible. Wait at least one hour until the oven has attained ambient temperature and is
completely dry.
4.4 Location of installation and ambient conditions
Set up the incubators BD or the heating/drying oven ED / FD on a plane and non-flammable surface, free
from vibration at a well-ventilated, dry location and align it using a spirit level. The site of installation must
be capable of supporting the unit’s weight (see technical data, chap. 12.4 to 12.6).
CAUTION
Danger of overheating.
Damage of the unit.
∅ Do NOT set up units in non-ventilated recesses.
Ensure sufficient ventilation for carrying-off the heat.
• Permissible ambient temperature range: +18°C up to +40°C. At elevated ambient temperature values,
fluctuations in temperature can occur.
The ambient temperature should not be substantially higher than the indicated ambient
temperature of +25°C to which the specified technical data relate. In the case of different
ambient conditions, deviations from the indicated data are possible.
• Permissible ambient humidity: 70 % r.H. max., non-condensing.
• Installation height: max. 2000 m above sea level.
When placing several units of the same size side by side, maintain a minimum distance of 250 mm
between each unit. Wall distances: rear 100 mm, sides 160 mm. Spacing above the unit of at least 100
mm must also be accounted for.
Two devices up to size 115l can be piled on top of each other. For this purpose place rubber pads under
all four feet of the upper unit to prevent the device from slipping.
CAUTION
Sliding or tilting of the upper unit.
Damage of the units.
∅ When stacking, place rubber pads under all four feet of the upper unit.
The unit must NOT be installed and operated in hazardous locations.
DANGER
Explosion hazard.
Danger of life.
∅ Do NOT operate the unit in potentially explosive areas.
∅ NO explosive dust or air-solvent mixture in the ambiance.
