Installation - Shel lab FX14-2 Installation And Operational Manual

INSTALLATION

Local city, county or other ordinances may govern the use of this equipment. If you have any questions about
local requirements, please contact the appropriate local agency. Installation may be performed by the end user.
Under normal circumstances this unit is intended for use indoors, at room temperatures between 5 and 40C,
at no greater than 80% Relative Humidity (at 25C) and with a supply voltage that does not vary by more than
10%. Customer service should be contacted for operating conditions outside of these limits.
Installation of the FX28-2 requires hard wiring and should be performed by a qualified electrical technician. The
next higher circuit breaker value above the data plate amperage may be used provided the requirements in
article 422 of the National Electric Code are met (USA). The FX14-2 can be installed by the end user without a
technician.
3.1 Power Source: The electrical supply circuit to the oven must conform to all national and local
electrical codes. Consult the incubator's serial data plate for the voltage, cycle wattage and
ampere requirements before making connection. VOLTAGE SHOULD NOT VARY MORE THAN
10% FROM THE SERIAL PLATE RATING. This unit is intended for 50/60 Hz application. A
separate circuit is recommended to prevent possible loss of product due to overloading or failure
of other equipment on the same circuit.
3.2 Location: When selecting a site for the oven, consider all conditions which may affect
performance, such as extreme heat from steam radiators, stoves, ovens autoclaves, etc. Avoid
direct sun, fast-moving air currents, heating/cooling ducts, and high traffic areas. To ensure air
circulation around the unit allow a minimum of 30 cm between the unit and any walls or partitions
which might obstruct free airflow.
3.3 Lifting / Handling: These units are heavy and care should be taken to use appropriate lifting
devices that are sufficiently rated for these loads. Units should only be lifted from their bottom
surfaces. Doors, handles and knobs are not adequate for lifting or stabilization. The unit should
be completely restrained from tipping during lifting or transport. All moving parts, such as shelves
and trays should be removed and doors need to be positively locked in the closed position during
transfer to prevent shifting and damage.
3.4 Leveling: The unit must sit level and solidly. Leveling feet are supplied and must be installed in
the four holes in the bottom corners of the unit. With the unit standing upright, turn the leveling
feet counterclockwise to raise level. If the unit must be moved, turn the leveling feet in all the way
to prevent damage.
3.5 Cleaning: The oven interior was cleaned at the factory, but not sterilized. Remove all interior
parts if assembled and clean with a disinfectant that is appropriate to your application. DO NOT
USE chlorine-based bleaches or abrasives as this will damage the stainless steel interior. DO
NOT USE spray cleaners that might leak through openings and cracks and get on electrical parts or
that may contain solvents that will harm the coatings. A similar periodic cleaning is recommended.
WARNING: Never clean the unit with alcohol or flammable cleaners with the unit connected to the
electrical supply. Always disconnect the unit form the electrical service when cleaning and assure all
volatile or flammable cleaners are evaporated and dry before reattaching the unit to the power
supply.
Burn In: It is recommended that the unit go through a "burning in" process prior to operation.
3.6
This is to eliminate the smoking of protective coatings on the element. Read sections 4, 5 and 6
carefully to understand operating requirements. To burn in turn the Overtemperature Safety to
maximum and set the digital display to 200. Run a minimum of one (1) hour until smoke
dissipates.
