This chapter explains site requirements for the Humilab system,
what is shipped with the unit, how to install the Humilab, and how
to set it up and perform the necessary procedures to ensure effi-
cient and reliable operation to meet your calibration requirements.
Before you proceed to install your Humilab, ensure that you have
chosen a site suitable for the effective and efficient operation of the
instrument.
A location should be found for the Humilab where the ambient
temperature is reasonably constant. This is usually the case in a
calibration laboratory. Ideally, the room should be stable within
±1°C, between 20°C and 30°C. Ensure that the table or lab bench is
level.
The water jacket surrounding the test chamber and the 1/2" thick
Lexan cover above it effectively isolate the chamber from
short-term temperature fluctuations. However, longer term
changes in room ambient temperature may cause a temporary
chamber error until the system equilibrates to the new ambient
temperature. Therefore, temperature stability of the room is impor-
tant.
Two people are required for moving this system.
The following items are packaged with the Humilab:
• cover (removed for shipment)
• Certificate of Conformance
