II . Unpacking Your Cabinet
This chapter aims to provide relevant information on how to handle the cabinet properly upon receipt
.
Failure to follow
these instructions may damage the cabinet
.
We strongly advise you to read this chapter carefully before proceeding
further
.
2 .1 Step-By-Step Procedure
1 . Inspecting the Crate, Pallet, Boxes .
» Upon receipt of your new cabinet, inspect all cartons
.
If there is any visible damage to the exterior please call Cole-
Parmer.
2 . Moving the Pallet .
» The pallet is designed to protect the cabinet from any foreseeable circumstances
.
However, excessive impact on
the boxes or pallet may also damage the cabinet
.
Prevent any direct impact or hitting to the pallet when
moving
.
» When lifting the pallet, always ensure that the floor jack or mechanical lift truck has fully entered under the pallet
in order to achieve stability
.
Failure to do so will increase the risk of the pallet falling off the floor jack or mechanical
lift truck during handling. Please use a suitable extension bar when necessary.
3 . Opening the Boxes .
» If you did not receive one or more of the parts listed on the packing checklist, or if any of the items are damaged,
please call Cole-Parmer.
4 . Removing the Packaging Material .
» The cabinet is protected by foam, cardboard and/or shrink-wrap .
» If you find any damage during this stage of unpacking, please call Cole-Parmer.
» We recommend leaving the cabinet secured with straps to the pallet until the cabinet is located in its
approximate final position to facilitate ease and safety in handling.
NOTE: Choosing the best location for your cabinet in order to achieve optimum operating performance is
determined by a number of factors. Please refer to the next chapter for guidelines.

5 . Moving the Cabinet .
» When lifting the pallet with the cabinet, always ensure that the floor jack or mechanical lift truck has fully entered
under the pallet
.
This is to increase the stability of the cabinet and reduce the risk of the cabinet
falling down . Please
use a suitable extension bar when necessary . During the moving of the cabinet,
ensure there is enough distance
between the supports of the pallet and the ground
.
Dragging the pallet against the ground will damage the pallet
and possibly your new cabinet
.
» When removing cabinet from pallet or placing cabinet onto pallet, use at least two people
.
6 . Removing the Strapping .
» Remove the strapping by cutting it at a safe position to prevent scratching the surface of your new
cabinet
.
» Do not discard the packaging material for your cabinet until you have checked all of the components, installed
and tested the unit
.
7 . Lifting the Cabinet .
» The cabinet can be lifted in two sections: The HEAD unit and ENCLOSURE
.
» Install the cabinet on the existing work surface or Cole-Parmer support stand (if ordered)
.
NOTE:
» When installing the cabinet onto an existing work surface, ensure that the structure can safely support the
combined weight of the cabinet and any related equipment. Some modifications to the work surface may be
necessary
.
» The work surface should be smooth, non-porous and resistant to the disinfectants and chemicals used in
conjunction with the cabinet
.
2 .2 Packaging Contents

III . Installing Your Cabinet
3 .1 Choosing a Suitable Location
Location impacts the nature and extent of external airflow disturbances, which may affect performance of the
cabinet when it is exposed to these disturbances
.
When installing the cabinet, it should be located as far away as possible from sources of airflow disturbance and in an
orientation which optimally shields the airflow of the cabinet from all external airflow disturbances. Please note that the
cabinet should not be placed close to another cabinet
.
Please follow these guidelines when choosing a suitable location for your cabinet.
• The location must be far away from:
» Personnel traffic flows.
» Air vents (in and out).
» Doors and windows.
» Any other sources of disruptive air currents or air drafts.
• If drafts or other disruptive air currents exceed the face velocity of the filter, the potential exists for
contaminated air to enter the work zone of the cabinet.
• A minimum distance of 50 cm (20 in) to the top of the ceiling is recommended for blower changing purposes
.
• A clearance of 183 cm (6 ft) in front of the cabinet is strongly advised in order to maintain proper airflow.
• Please permit adequate space for cleaning behind the cabinet
.

» Indoor use .
» Altitude < 2,000 m (6,562 ft) .
» Temperature range 5ºC to 40ºC (41ºF to 104ºF) ambient .
» Relative humidity <80% up to 31ºC (88ºF) decreasing to <50% at 40ºC (104ºF) .
» UL Installation Category II .
» UL Pollution Degree 2 .
» Continuous operation .
» Electrical supply tolerance of –10% / +10% .
» 120VAC, 60Hz, 10A or 230VAC, 50Hz, 5A .
» Fuse: 250V, 10A, Time Lag for 120VAC or Fuse: 250V, 5A, Time Lag for 230VAC
.
