Input Power Requirements
| 230 V ±10%, 60 Hz, 3 Phase | Max Current Draw 58 A; Recommended Service 75 A |
| 208 V -5/+10%, 60 Hz, 3 Phase | Max Current Draw 56 A; Recommended Service 75 A |
|
Input may be configured for 230 V or 208 V in the field by changing jumpers. Three phase load is balanced. Call for other voltages or 50 Hz operation. Customer power source must be hard-wired to the chamber by a qualified electrician. Power cord and plug is not included. | |

NOTE: Performance is typical and based on operation at 23°C (73°F) ambient and nominal input voltage. Designed for use in a normal conditioned laboratory. Operation at higher ambient temperatures may result in decreased cooling performance. Additional ports and shelves will also affect performance. Operation above 30°C (85°F) or below 16°C (60°F) ambient is not recommended.
Due to continuous product improvements, specifications subject to change without notice.
