1.4 Safety Information
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, repair
and service of this instrument. Failure to comply with these precautions or warnings elsewhere
in this manual violates the safety standard of the design, manufacture and intended use of this
instrument. Distek Inc. assumes no liability for the customer or end-user to comply with these
requirements.
Operation
Before applying power, make sure the instrument complies with the installation requirements.
Additionally, the following must be observed:
Do not remove instrument covers when operating.
Instrument must be connected to a protective earth ground socket. Any interruption of the
protective earth grounding will cause a potential shock hazard that could result in serious
personal injury.
Make sure that only fuses with the required current rating and of the specified type are used
for replacement.
Any service should be only carried out by a skilled person who is aware of the hazard involved
and properly trained in the service and repair of the instrument.
Do not replace any components with power cable connected.
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
Do not install substitute parts or make any unauthorized modification to the instrument.

1.5 Site Requirements
Physical Site Consideration
Electrical Requirements
This chapter contains information regarding the recommended minimum available bench space,
electrical requirements and environmental conditions when installing your instrument.
IntroductionModel 2500 16
© 2015-2017 Distek, Inc. All Rights Reserved
1.5.1 Physical Site Consideration
The dimensional requirements specified below are adequate for the installation of the Model 2500
Dissolution System:
1 The minimum bench depth needed (front edge of bench to the back splash or wall) is 22
inches (56cm). However, the minimum recommended bench depth is 25 inches (64cm) for
proper ventilation.
2 The minimum linear bench space requirement is 28 inches (71cm). Distek recommends
that at least 33 inches (84cm) be allocated whenever manual operations are required to be
performed adjacent to the system.
3 There must be no obstruction (cabinet, shelf, or outlet) that intrudes into the minimum
footprint of the unit up to a height of 39 inches (99cm) above the bench surface where the
unit is to be installed.
4 The bench must be capable of sustaining the weight of the unit and all of its accessory
parts without significant bending. Because the entire mass of the unit is transferred to the
bench surface through four (4) circular padded, adjustable leveling feet, the bench surface
should be strong enough to withstand a load of 60 pounds per square inch (4 kilograms per
square centimeter).
5 Because of the limitation in travel of the leveling feet, the bench slope should be less than
0.75(1.9cm) from front to back or from side to side over the unit’s foot print.
IntroductionModel 2500 17
© 2015-2017 Distek, Inc. All Rights Reserved
1.5.2 Electrical Requirements
Your instrument can operate on line voltage of 115V ± 15V 50/60Hz or
230V ± 15V 50/60Hz . Since
the instrument is pre-configured for either 115 VAC or 230 VAC, there is no voltage selector and
no external accessible fuses to replace. Refer to Instrument Specification regarding the current
rating depending on the number of modules or positions of the instrument.
To disconnect the instrument from the line, pull out the power cord. The power supply still
stores some power, even if the power switch is turned off or the power cable is unplugged.
Other accessories, such as printers, accept nominal line voltage of 115 or 230 VAC at 50 or 60 Hertz.
For more information, see the documentation that came with your accessories.
Do not connect your instrument to a line voltage that is higher than the specified voltage.
Shock hazard or damage to your instrument can occur.
Power cords are offered in different configurations depending on the particular country or region
of intended use. For all cables, the female end of the supplied power cord is identical and it
plugs into the power inlet socket located on the right side of the instrument. The male end of
each supplied power cord is different and designed to match the wall outlet of the intended
country or region of use.
Always use the power cord supplied with your instrument. Always plug in your instrument
with a properly grounded wall outlet.

Ambient Laboratory Temperature
Air Quality Considerations
Environmental Considerations
This chapter contains information regarding the recommended laboratory conditions such as
humidity, room temperature and air quality when installing your instrument. It also contains
information regarding environmental considerations when disposing of the instrument.
IntroductionModel 2500 19
© 2015-2017 Distek, Inc. All Rights Reserved
1.6.1 Ambient Laboratory Humidity
Distek recommends that the laboratory humidity control system fans be kept on at all times, if
possible.
Maximum:
The Model 2500 Series may add to the humidity of the laboratory during operation. Any vessels
filled and left uncovered can raise humidity levels. Water vapor and/or hydrogen chloride vapor
from dissolution media can cause serious effects when condensed on electrical components and
contacts. The lab’s environmental controls should maintain the humidity level below the dew
point (70%) to minimize the risk of condensation.
Minimum:
The Model 2500 Series utilizes solid-state semiconductor devices. It is important that the
humidity level be kept at or above 25% relative humidity, to minimize the risk of damage to
control circuits caused by static discharge.
IntroductionModel 2500 20
© 2015-2017 Distek, Inc. All Rights Reserved
1.6.2 Ambient Laboratory Temperature
Distek recommends that the laboratory temperature control system be kept on at all times.
Maximum Conditions:
To achieve the full range of controlled operation (20 to 65°C) within specified tolerances, the
Model 2500 Series Dissolution System is designed to be installed and operated in laboratories
where the maximum operating temperature does not exceed 2C. The maximum allowable
ambient operation temperature is 30°C.
Operating environments above 25°C limit the range for satisfactory operation of the system to
between 20°C and 65°C.
Minimum Conditions:
To assure controlled operation within specified tolerances, the Model 2500 Series is designed to
be operated in laboratories where minimum operating temperatures do not drop below 2C.
Variability or Short Term Fluctuations:
To assure controlled operation within specified tolerances, the system used to control the
temperature of the laboratory where the Model 2500 Series Dissolution System is installed must
be able to maintain the ambient air temperature within ±2.5°C of set point (worst case).
Thermal Loading:
Each unit contributes an average thermal load of about 0.6 kW when operating. The lab’s cooling
systems must have sufficient excess cooling capacity to handle the aggregate thermal load for all
systems installed. The heating system must also be able to respond to the increased loading from
the units by appropriately throttling back.
For laboratories where temperature control is critical, installation of several dissolution units
may require that the system be re-balanced. Thermostats may need to be relocated to
maintain temperature uniformity inside the laboratory.
