SKOPE Pegasus Horizontal Chiller
INSTALLATION - Positioning the Cabinet
Positioning the Cabinet
Location
When positioning the cabinet, avoid direct sunlight and warm draughts etc. The
cabinet must NOT be situated where it is affected by warm or hot air from adjacent
equipment, as this will compromise the airflow and performance of the chiller.
The cabinet must be positioned on a level surface for the doors to shut and seal
correctly, and to prevent the condensate tray from overflowing. Adequate allowance
should be made for door opening.
Always ensure that the top of the cabinet is shielded from impact and moisture, with
either a SKOPE provided bench top or with a custom or existing bench top.
Ventilation
For efficient operation of the chiller, it is essential that adequate ventilation be
provided around the front of the refrigeration unit. Normal operating conditions
should not exceed 40°C at 65% RH.
It is critical that the hot refrigeration exhaust air is not restricted and that it can easily
flow out and away from the front of the cabinet.
Never store cardboard cartons or other items in front of the refrigeration unit. The
ventilation slots in the unit front cover must be kept clear at all times.
When installing the cabinet:
• Avoid direct sunlight and warm draughts etc.
• Ensure adequate ventilation around the front of the refrigeration unit.
• Allow adequate space for the door/s to open fully.
• Ensure the cabinet is positioned on a level surface so the door/s shut and seal
correctly and to prevent the condensate tray from overflowing.
• The self-closing door/s have internal torsion bars, pretensioned at the factory,
and should not require any further adjustment.
• Do not overload the power supply. See the rating label inside the cabinet for
power supply and current draw.
Warning:
The ventilation slots in the unit front cover must be kept clear at all times.
