Site preparation

Rev. CUpdated 2026-09-30

Prepare the installation site before the system is delivered. A CORE Instruments engineer completes the installation once these requirements are met.

Space and floor

The standard configuration is two 19 in racks. Allow 1 m of clearance in front for DUT access and 0.6 m behind for cabling and coolant lines.

Requirement Value
Footprint, two racks 1.2 m × 1.0 m
Floor load ≥ 500 kg/m²
Door clearance for delivery 0.9 m × 2.1 m

Electrical supply

Requirement Value
Mains 400 V AC, 3-phase + N + PE
Protection 32 A, type C
Connector CEE 32 A, 5-pin
Warning

The supply must be installed by a qualified electrician before delivery. Do not use extension cables or adaptors.

Coolant and environment

The cold plate needs a water-glycol supply of 2 to 20 l/min, from a recirculating chiller or a facility loop. Ambient temperature must stay between 15 and 35 °C, non-condensing.
