Safety Safety Terms and signs used In this manual and on the appliance itself, certain common terms and signs are used to warn you of possible dangers or to give you hints that are important in avoiding injury or damage. Observe and follow these notes and regulations to avoid accidents and damage.
Safety 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 refl ect the state of the art and comply with recognised technical safety regulations. However, there are still risks involved, even when the appliances are used as intended.
Intended use Constant climate chambers HPPeco and cooled incubators IPPecoplus may be used exclusively for temperature and climate testing of materials and substances in the con- text of the procedures and specifi cations described in this manual. Any other use is improper and may result in hazards and damage.
Safety 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 CE declaration of conformity losing its validity, and the appliance may no longer be operated.

(heat pump principle). Constant climate chambers HPPeco Additionally, the humidity in the interior can be regulated between 15% rh and 80% rh (rh = relative humidity). The humidity is increased by the evaporation of water from a tank which is then fed into the interior and reduced by condensation on a Peltier module.
Working range of constant climate chambers HPPeco The temperature-humidity diagram specifi es at what range of temperature and humidity a permanent, condensation-free operation of the constant climate chamber HPPeco is possible. If the chamber is in operation at the upper limit or outside the working range for long periods, puddles of water may form inside the chamber and water may force its way out of the door seal.
Construction and description Material These appliances fulfi l the current requirements of the RoHS Directive.

Delivery, Transport and Setting Up Delivery, Transport and Setting Up Safety WARNING The appliance could fall over and seriously injure you. Never tilt the appliance. Only transport in upright position and without load (except standard accessories such as steel grids or shelves). Appliances with castors always have to be moved by two peo- ple.
Delivery, Transport and Setting Up Transport The appliance can be transported in three ways: With a forklift truck or a manual pallet jack; move the forks of the truck entirely under ■ the pallet On its own castors, in case of the corresponding confi guration, for which the catch on ■...
Due to its centre of gravity, the appliance can fall over to the front and injure you or other people. Always attach the appliance to a wall with the tilt protection. In case there is not enough space, do not put the appliance into operation and do not open the door. Contact the Memmert service. 3.7.1 Preconditions The installation site must be fl...
Delivery, Transport and Setting Up Level and secure the device against rolling away (Sizes 1400 and 2200) The height of the appliance can be adjusted using the heavy-duty castors attached to the bottom of the appliance. It can also be secured against rolling away or being shifted. To do this, the feet must be extended.
First, adjust the setting at the top of the door and, if this is not suffi cient, adjust the screws at the bottom of the door. Door adjustment is also available as a service video: https://www.memmert.com/de/downloads/media/service-videos/ 1. Open the door. 2. Loosen the screws.
Putting into operation Putting into operation WARNING Condensation in the electrical components may cause short circuits.
