2.1 Facility Requirements
Before uncrating your instrument, ensurethat facility air and water supplies meetthe requirements of this section. Install theinstrument in a clean environment conforming
Environmental Ratings & CompliancesTemperature Range: 16-29°C (60-85°F)
i NOTE
For High Irradiance (above nominal1-sun) and/or lower temperaturetests (chamber temp. below 42°C),the laboratory ambient temperatureshould be limited to 23°C maximum).

Machine Directive: EN 60204-1Safety of Machinery: ISO 12100-1,ISO 112100-2EMC Compliance: EN 61326CE CompliantThe room should be ventilated properly withminimal drafts, air pollution, or dust. Do notinstall the instrument in a corrosive or toxicenvironment, or adjacent to corrosion testingequipment. It is not advisable to install theinstrument in such locations as a warehouse,boiler room, garage/factory area, paint room,or where doors to the outside environment arefrequently opened causing changes in roomtemperature and humidity. Such locationsmay adversely affect instrument operation,longevity and test integrity (repeatability).
Waste Heat and Water Vapor Generation
The Weather-Ometer® generates waste heatand water vapor as normal by-products ofoperation. While the greater percentage ofthis is vented from the instrument throughits exhaust duct or through the lamp coolingsystem heat exchanger, the remainder mustbe taken into consideration when determiningthe heat load on the facility climate controlsystem. Refer to tables 2-1 – 2-3 for maximumestimates of heat and vapor generation.Heat Dissipation Into Ambient Air About 50% of the xenon lamp heat is exhausted
through the top duct into the ambient air surroundingthe instrument.
Waste heat from the chamber heater is also ex-hausted through the top exhaust duct of the instru-ment.
A great percentage of the above heat can becaptured by the laboratory exhaust system, but donot connect the laboratory exhaust system directly tothe instrument exhaust duct or malfunction and testinvalidation may result due to suction.
The heat from the control systems and powertransformers/reactors is radiated through the externalpanels of the frame.
Table 2-1 indicates the totals for all of the heatthat is exhausted or radiated into the air around theinstrument.
CAUTION! DAMAGE & INJURY
Instrument installation proceduresmust be performed only by an Atlas-

2.1 Facility Requirements (cont.)
Heat Dissipation Into Water
The remaining 50% of the lamp heat is dissipated into the lamp cooling water.If tap water is used to cool the lamp its collected heat energy is discharged
into the building water drain. This energy then is not to be included in the calculations.If the lamp heat is dissipated by the use of the optional Atlas LiquiAir™ cooling system
(closed-loop, air cooled system), it will be apportioned as follows:If it is vented into the room, this heat content must be added to the exhausted heatfrom the chamber and the radiated heat. These values are shown in Table 2-1.If it is vented through a wall into another room or outside of the building, or througha facility exhausts system, its heat is not considered in determining the facilitycooling requirements.

Moisture Emission into Ambient Environment
Water vapor is exhausted from all Weather-Ometers during the course of running a test. It must be taken into account to prevent condensation and to prevent any condensed water from dripping from the facility exhaust duct back into the instrument exhaust duct. Insulate facility exhaust ducts above the instrument as required.
The amount of exhausted water vapor depends on the humidity set points of the test selected.
The humidity set point, the Chamber Temperature set point, and the length of time that
amount of emitted water vapor. Table 2-3 gives approximate values of water consumption and water emitted.

2.2 Uncrating the Weather-Ometer®
After the installation area has been prepared,uncrate the Weather-Ometer® and check forpossible damage caused during shipping. Ifthe instrument is delivered in subzero weather,allow it to sit on the skid in an enclosed areafor twenty-four hours and check for possibledamage.
Shipping Locks: Two angle brackets areinstalled to secure the lower front accessdoor(s). Remove the brackets with ascrewdriver.
Leveling: The Weather-Ometer® must beaccurately levelled for optimal operation. It issupported by leveling feet with adjustable boltsand locknuts. To begin leveling, place a bubblelevel across the upper, center ring of thespecimen rack inside the test chamber. Turnthe leveling bolts until thebubble is centered in thelevel. Turn the level 90°and adjust the bolts again.Repeat the procedure untilthe bubble is centered inboth directions. Tightenthe locknuts to secure thebolts in place.
Exhaust Ducts and Extensions: The airducts in the top of the instrument separateincoming (inlet) and outgoing (outlet) air andprevent exhaust moisture from dripping backinto the instrument. Identify the inlet andoutlet ducts and extensions as you uncratethe instrument. Each duct extension is

2.3.2 Connection Procedures (cont.)
Compressed Air Connection
Install an industrial grade oil/water separator inthe air supply line. Connect the air supply lineto inlet port at the lower rear of the instrument.Apply air pressure and check for leaks. Adjustthe humidifier air pressure regulator (Fig.2-7), located behind the front lower door, to448 kPa (65 psi) . If present, l i f t upthe lock ring before you adjust the airpressure regulator knob. Press the lockring down to secure the knob position.
Electrical Power Connection
The Weather-Ometer® is equippedwith a small air regulator that includesa secondary oil/water trap. DO NOTdepend only on this trap duringnormal operation of the instrument;
device only. Install an industrial gradeoil/water separator on the supply line.
CAUTION! INSTRUMENT DAMAGE
Connect power lines through afused safety disconnect switch (Fig.2-8) with appropriate fuses (seesection 2.1 Electrical Supply). Locatethe disconnect switch as close aspossible to the instrument and in easyview of the instrument operator.
