Installation & Conguration PC-9042 Portable Anechoic Chamber

IMPORTANT - Follow all notes and information - it is extremely useful to have two people to

facilitate the movement of the chamber when not in completely assembled form. The center

section is shipped connected to one of the end pieces for added stability.

Unpacking and moving the Chamber

Unpacking the Chamber

1. Cut Black Strapping and unwrap chamber sections, remove any boxes sitting below sections.

2. SINGLE HALF - Using two people (EST WEIGHT 160 LBS), lift the chamber from the corner

supports and place onto oor.

3. DOUBLE HALF - Unclip the 8 draw clamps (two per top, bottom, sides) both sides should be

relatively free.

4. Using two people (EST WEIGHT 120 pounds / 160 pounds), lift each chamber from the corner

supports and place onto oor.
