Installation and Startup
WARNING: Be sure all power is off before proceeding.
Site Requirements
Ambient Temperature and Relative Humidity
The Chiller is designed for indoor installation in ambient temperatures between 5° and 30°C (41° and 86°F);
relative humidity should not exceed 80% (non-condensing).
Location
The Chiller should be installed on a strong, level surface. It should be located as close to possible to the process
requiring cooling. It should not be installed closer than 4 feet (1.4 meters) to a heat-generating source, such as
heating pipes, boilers, etc. If possible, the Chiller should be located near a suitable drain to prevent flooding in the
event of leaks. Do not place it where corrosive fumes, excessive moisture, excessive dust, or high room
temperatures are present.
For ease of positioning and maneuverability, the Chiller is supplied with casters. The front wheels can be locked
to keep the Chiller in place while in use.
To help prevent voltage drops, position the Chiller as close as possible to the power distribution panel. Avoid
voltage drops by using a properly grounded power outlet wired with 14 gauge or larger diameter wire. The use of
an extension cord is not recommended.
NOTE: The Chiller may be located at a level below that of the equipment being cooled. As long as the
process remains closed, overflow will not occur when adding cooling fluid to the Chiller reservoir.
Clearance
Adequate clearance should be allowed on the front, sides, and rear of the Chiller for access to connections and
components. The front and rear vents of the Chiller must be a minimum of 24 inches (61 cm) away from walls or
vertical surfaces so air flow is not restricted.
Electrical Power
An IEC power cord is provided with the Chiller. It should be attached to the receptacle on the rear of the
enclosure. Make sure that the power outlet used for the Chiller is properly grounded and matches the voltage and
frequency indicated on the identification label on the back of the Chiller.
The use of an extension cord is not recommended. However, if one is necessary, it must be properly grounded
and capable of handling the total wattage of the unit. The extension cord must not cause more than a 10% drop in
voltage to the Chiller.
WARNING: DO NOT plug the Chiller into the electrical outlet until the unit is ready for startup (see Startup).
