Page 13: Deionized And Distilled Water
INSTALLATION EIONIZED AND ISTILLED ATER Do not use deionized water to clean or humidify the incubator. Use of deionized water may corrode metal surfaces and voids the warranty. The manufacturer recommends the use of distilled water in the resistance range of 50K Ohm/cm to 1M Ohm/cm, or a conductivity range of 20.0 uS/cm to 1.0 uS/cm, for cleaning and humidifying applications. - Page 14 INSTALLATION 14 | P a g e...

Page 19: Operation
OPERATION HEORY OF PERATION The SMI general purpose incubators are engineered to provide constant temperature incubation environments. Each unit can obtain a stable, uniform temperature in its chamber, ranging from the room temperature (ambient) +8°C up to 70°C for incubation applications. Each incubator features an inner glass viewing door that allows visual inspection of samples without compromising the chamber temperature environment. -
Page 20: Put The Incubator Into Operation
OPERATION UT THE NCUBATOR INTO PERATION Carry out the following steps and procedures to put the unit into operation after installing it in a new workspace environment. Attach the power cord that came with the unit to the power inlet receptacle on the side of the incubator. -
Page 21: Set The Incubator Temperature Set Point
OPERATION ET THE NCUBATOR EMPERATURE OINT SMI12: Each incubator must be set independently. 1. Set the OTL control to its maximum setting, if not already set to max. Turning the OTL all the way to the right (clockwise) prevents the heating •... -
Page 22: Set The Over Temperature Limit
OPERATION Note: Test the OTL heating cutoff system at least once per year for functionality. ET THE EMPERATURE IMIT The incubator must be operating at your incubation application temperature and must be stable for at least 1 hour prior to setting the OTL. Each incubator OTL must be set independently in the SMI12. 1. -
Page 23: Loading Samples
OPERATION OADING AMPLES Place items on the shelves inside the incubation chamber as evenly spaced as possible. Proper spacing allows for maximum air circulation and a high degree of temperature uniformity. Leave 1 inch (2.5cm) between sample containers and the chamber walls. HAMBER CCESSORY OWER... -
Page 24: Condensation And The Dew Point
OPERATION ONDENSATION AND THE OINT Condensation takes place whenever the humidity level in the incubator chamber reaches the dew point. The dew point is the level of humidity at which the air cannot hold more water vapor. The warmer the air, the more water vapor it can hold. As the level of humidity rises in an incubation chamber, condensate will first appear on surfaces that are cooler than the air temperature. -

USER MAINTENANCE Warning: Disconnect this unit from its power supply prior to performing maintenance or services. Avertissement: Débranchez cet appareil de son alimentation électrique avant d'effectuer la maintenance ou les services. LEANING AND ISINFECTING If a hazardous material or substance has spilled in the unit chamber, immediately initiate your site Hazardous Material Spill Containment protocol. -
Page 26: Minimizing Contamination Exposure
USER MAINTENANCE Disinfecting For maximum effectiveness, disinfection procedures are typically performed after cleaning. Keep the following points in mind when disinfecting the unit. Turn off and disconnect the unit to safeguard against electrical hazards. • Disinfect the unit chamber using commercially available disinfectants that are non-corrosive, •... -
Page 27: Storing The Incubator
USER MAINTENANCE TORING THE NCUBATOR Perform the following steps if the incubator will be out of use for more than 24 hours to prevent microbiological contamination such as fungus or mold. Depower the incubator. 2. Disinfect and clean if required by your laboratory protocol, or if the chamber has been exposed to pathogenic microorganisms. -
Page 28: Calibrate The Temperature Display
USER MAINTENANCE ALIBRATE THE EMPERATURE DISPLAY Performing a temperature display calibration requires a temperature reference device. Please Note: see the Reference Sensor Device entry on page 6 for the device requirements. Each SMI12 incubation chamber must be independently calibrated to its temperature display. Note: Temperature calibrations are performed to match an incubator temperature display to the actual air temperature inside the incubation chamber. - Page 29 USER MAINTENANCE 5) Temperature Stabilization The incubator air temperature must stabilize in order to perform an accurate calibration. Allow the incubator to operate undisturbed with the doors shut for at least 8 hours when • first putting the unit into operation in a new environment. To be considered stabilized, the incubator chamber must operate at your calibration •...
- Page 30 USER MAINTENANCE Temperature Calibration Continued Place the display in its temperature calibration mode. a. Press and hold both the UP and DOWN temperature arrow buttons simultaneously for approximately 5 seconds. b. Release the buttons when the temperature display shows the letters “C O”. The display will begin flashing the current temperature display value.
- Page 31 USER MAINTENANCE Reference Device Compare the reference device reading with the chamber temperature display again. If the reference device and the chamber temperature • display readings are the same or the difference falls within the range of your protocol, the incubator is now calibrated for temperature.
