Safety regulations
1.2 Product safety and dangers
The appliances described in this manual are technically sophisticated, manufactured using
high-quality materials and subject to many hours of testing in the factory. They contain the
latest technology and comply with recognised technical safety regulations. However, there are
still risks involved, even when the appliances are used as intended. These are described below.
Warning!
After removing covers, live parts may be exposed. You may receive
an electric shock if you touch these parts. Disconnect the mains plug
before removing any covers. Only electrical technicians may work on
the electrical equipment of the appliances.
Warning!
When loading the appliance with an unsuitable load, poisonous
or explosive vapours or gases may be produced. This could cause
the appliance to explode, and people could be severely injured or
poisoned. The appliance may only be loaded with materials/test
objects which do not form any toxic or explosive vapours when
heated up (see also chapter "Intended use" on page 8).
Warning!
In case of appliances of a certain size, you can get accidentally
locked in, which is life-threatening. Do not climb into the appliance!
1.3 Requirements of the operating personnel
The appliance may only be operated and maintained by persons who are of legal age
and have been instructed accordingly. Personnel who are to be trained, instructed or who
are undergoing general training may only work with the appliance under the continuous
supervision of an experienced person.
Repairs may only be performed by qualified electricians. The regulations in the separate service
manual must be observed.
1.4 Responsibility of the owner
The owner of the appliance
►is responsible for the flawless condition of the appliance and for it being operated in
accordance with its intended use (see page 8);
►is responsible for ensuring that persons who are to operate or service the appliance are
qualified to do this, have been instructed accordingly and are familiar with the operating
instructions at hand;
►must know about the applicable guidelines, requirements and operational safety
regulations, and train staff accordingly;
►is responsible for ensuring that unauthorised persons have no access to the appliance;
►is responsible for ensuring that the maintenance plan is adhered to and that maintenance

Safety regulations
►has to ensure that the appliance and its surroundings are kept clean and tidy, for example
through corresponding instructions and inspections;
►is responsible for ensuring that personal protective clothing is worn by operating
personnel, e.g. work clothes, safety shoes and protective gloves.
1.5 Intended use
Constant climate chambers HPP and cooled incubators IPPPLUS may be used exclusively for
temperature and climate testing of materials and substances in the context of the procedures
and specifications described in this manual. Any other use is improper, and may result in
hazards and damage.
The appliance is not explosion-proof (does not comply with the German workplace health &
safety regulation VBG 24). The appliance may only be loaded with materials and substances
which cannot form any toxic or explosive vapours at the set temperature and which cannot
explode, burst or ignite.
The appliance may not be used for drying, vaporising and branding paints or similar materials
the solvents of which could form an explosive mixture when combined with air. If there is
any doubt as to the composition of materials, they must not be loaded into the appliance.
Potentially explosive gas-air mixtures must not form, neither in the working chamber nor in
the direct vicinity of the appliance.
1.6 Changes and alterations
No unauthorised changes or alterations may be made to the appliance. No parts may be
added or inserted which have not been approved by the manufacturer.
Unauthorised changes or alterations result in the EC declaration of conformity losing its
validity, and the appliance may no longer be operated.
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage, danger or injuries that result from
unauthorised changes or alterations, or from non-observance of the regulations in this
manual.
1.7 Behaviour in case of malfunctions and irregularities
The appliance may only be used in a flawless condition. If you as the operator notice
irregularities, malfunctions or damage, immediately take the appliance out of service and
inform your superior.
You can find information on eliminating malfunctions from page 36.
1.8 Switching off the appliance in an emergency
Push the On/Off switch on the control panel
(Fig. 1). This disconnects the appliance from
the power supply at all poles.

Construction and description
2.2 Description
The appliance can heat the working chamber up to 70 ºC and cool it down to 5 ºC. Low-
noise, long-life and energy-saving Peltier cooling and heating technology is used for this. In
heating operation, a part of the required energy is extracted from the surroundings (heat
pump principle).
Additionally, the humidity in the interior of constant climate chambers HPP can be regulated
between 10 and 90 % rh (rh = relative humidity). The humidity is increased by water from a
tank being evaporated and fed into the interior, and is reduced through condensation on a
Peltier module.
Optionally, the appliance can be equipped with a light module, making it possible to adjust
the interior lighting in steps of 1 %.
2.3 Working range of constant climate chambers HPP
The temperature-humidity diagram (Fig. 3) specifies at what range of temperature and
humidity a permanent, condensation-free operation of the constant climate chamber HPP is
possible.
Caution:
If in operation for long periods at the upper level or outside the working range, puddles
of water may form inside the chamber and water may force its way out of the door seal.
