Dynalab A4000D - Manuel (Page 3)

[ 1 ]
In order to obtain the optimum
performance from your new Aquatron
careful consideration should be given to
the intended location and the availability
of services such as water, electricity and
drain.
Please study the following notes before
commencing installation.
Before Use
If the equipment is not used in the
manner described in this manual then its
performance and operation will be
impaired.
Aquatron water stills are designed to
operate under the following conditions:
❖ For indoor use only.
❖ Ambient temperature +5°C to +40°C.
❖ Altitude up to 2000M.
❖ Relative humidity not exceeding 80%.
❖ Mains supply voltage fluctuates not
greater than ±10% of normal.
❖ Over voltage Category II IEC664.
❖ Polluting degree 2 IEC664.
1 Bench Wall Mounting
Aquatron models A4000 and A8000
can be either bench or wall mounted
and a bracket is provided for the
latter purpose. A gap of at least
50cm should be left at the right
hand end of the unit to allow access
to the heating elements.
For reasons of weight, model
A4000D is best bench mounted, but
if it is desired to elevate the unit then
a stout shelf should be used.
2 Electricity Supply
N.B. The Distinction Water
Still is classified as
“Permanently Connected
Equipment” and should be
connected to the electricity
supply by a qualified electrician
in the manner described in the
electrical installation section of
this manual.
The Aquatron stills are available in
three models, A4000, A4000D &
A8000.
A suitable supply for the A4000 is
rated at 3kW, 220-240v, 50/60Hz~
single phase. A suitable supply for
the A4000D & A8000 is rated at
6kW, 220-240v, 50/60Hz~ single
phase.
If you have any doubts about the
suitability of your supply, consult a
qualified electrician before installing
your Aquatron still.
3 Water Supply
A cold water supply is required for
coolant and feed purposes. This may
be from the mains supply or a
header tank having a flow capacity
of at least 1 litre/min. for the A4000
and 2 litres/min. for the A8000 and
A4000D. The pressure range should
be within 3-100 p.s.i. (0.2–7 x
10
5 Nm- 2 ).
If the feed water quality is poor and
likely to contain particulate matter,
such as rust or silt, it is advisable to
fit a pre-filter unit before the still.
4 Drain
A waste water drain is required. It is
important that the distance between
the drain and the water still is kept
as short as possible to reduce the
possibility of pressure build-up.
Similarly, the drain pipe from the still
should fall straight, without any kinks
or bends, to allow an unimpeded
flow.
5 Storage Tank
A suitable reservoir, the Bibby WR20
for instance, is required for the
collection of the distillate. This should
be positioned beneath the still
ensuring that the distillate can flow
into the reservoir without hindrance.
6 Maintenance
The location of the still should
facilitate easy access for routine
cleaning and maintenance. With
regards to the latter, it is
recommended that a space of at
least 50cm be provided on the right
hand side of the water still cabinet.
This is to allow the removal of the
side cover and replacement of the
heating element.
7 Warranty
Bibby Sterilin Ltd warrants this
instrument to be free from defects
in material and workmanship,
when used under normal
laboratory conditions, for a period
of two (2) years. In the event of a
justified claim Bibby Sterilin will
replace any defective component
or replace the unit free of charge.
This warranty does NOT apply if
damage is caused by fire, accident,
misuse, neglect, incorrect
adjustment or repair, damage
caused by incorrect installation,
adaptation, modification, fitting of
non approved parts or repair by
unauthorised personnel.
This Warranty does not include
the heater element which is
only garanteed for up to 1000
hours in use.
