• The instrument is designed for indoor use only.
• Obstruction-free access to the handwheel.
• The power switch/circuit breaker must be freely and easily accessible.
• Room temperature always approx. 22°C.
• The relative humidity must not exceed 60%.
To ensure proper function of the instrument, it must be set up while

• Distance to walls and furniture, calculated from the cabinet:
- rear: 15 cm

• No heat dissipating appliances around.
High room temperatures and excessive air humidity affect the
cooling capacity of the cryostat and lead to ice forming in the
instrument!
