1. General Information and Precautions
Safety Symbols:
1.1. Precautions related to the power cable
Always allow at least 3cm between the power cable and the back wall to prevent the back wall from causing
pressure on the power cable.
Always use the electrical plug that was supplied with this instrument.
Never touch the power cord with wet hands. (This can result in electric shock.)
Never use a damaged power cord or power outlet.
In the event of smoke or a burning smell, immediately remove the power cord from the outlet.
1.2. Precaution for use
Do not attempt to disassemble this instrument. If service is required, please contact your local
representative.
Never operate a flammable spray near this instrument. (This can result in a fire hazard.)
Always use caution when using flammable substances such as benzene, alcohol
and LP gas. (Failure to do so can result in a fire hazard.)
Prevent foreign substances from contacting the door seal. (The inflow of outside air can negatively impact
the temperature in chamber.)
Permissible ambient temperature range for transport: -10℃to 60℃.

OM-BENCHMARK T205 (Ver. 2017.12.12)
ALWAYS ensure that the instrument is connected to an outlet with specifciations that
match those of the serial number label.
(Over-voltage or under-voltage can damage the product and result in poor performance.)
When installing the instrument, always allow a distance of at least 30cm from the back wall. Install
the unit in the way that the power plug is easily accessible
and can be easily pulled in case of danger.
Install the instrument on a flat and stable surface, free from vibration and in a well-ventilated
location. (If the surface is not level, it can cause an excessive vibration of the product.)
