  • Page 10: Control Overview

    Section CONTROL PANEL OVERVIEW Power Switch: The main power I/O (on/off) switch controls all power to the unit and must be in the I/ON position before any systems are operational. Main Temperature Control: This control consists of the digital display and Up/Down arrow pads for inputting set point temperatures and calibration.

  • Page 11: Operation

    Section OPERATION Check power supply against unit serial plate. They must match. Plug service cord into the grounded electrical outlet. The water jacket must be filled. See Section 2.6 for instruction. Push the power switch to the ON position and turn the Overtemperature Thermostat to its maximum position, clockwise using a coin or flat edged tool.
  • Page 12 Temperature Monitoring: To insure that the incubator is operating at the desired temperature, an accurate temperature indicator such as a certified reference thermometer should be placed in the incubator chamber for calibrating after temperatures have been set. Try to place the thermometer in the center of the chamber and raised off the shelf (taping the thermometer down to a petri dish is a method that raises it off the shelf and prevents it from rolling and hiding the scale from view).

  • Page 13: Maintenance

    Section MAINTENANCE Note: prior to any maintenance or service on this unit, disconnect the service cord from the power supply. Cleaning: Cleaning and decontamination are recommended on a regular basis. To prepare the incubator for cleaning remove all parts such as the shelf standards and humidity pan.
